The Daily Five is a literacy framework
It is unique in that it is a structure that
helps students develop daily habits of
reading, writing, and working together
fostering a lifetime of independent
literacy

Students choose between five choices for
reading

Choices stay the
same all year and
are taught and
practiced until
students are
independent
(procedures!)
For each choice you
start by creating an
I-chart and building
stamina

Once students are independent with Daily Five choices,
CAFÉ is how the teacher works with students while they
are doing their Daily Five rotations

own learning, and become more strategic readers

relate to CCSS?
No hand holding—teaches independence
Completely skills based—can be used with any
grade level or curriculum
Procedures based—CHAMPS approved
Differentiation—book levels and student goals are
completely individualized
Students take ownership of their own learning
which prepares them for higher education and the
real world
