This is what I was trained on this last week. It's a new and improved, successfull, student friendly, teacher friendly "literacy centers" program. It is amazing. I am not yet doing it in my class but I plan on reading the book over Christmas break and starting it in January. Here's the gist. Instead of doing "centers" students do five things everyday during the daily five.
1. Read to self (Silent Reading) at independent level
2. Read to someone (at independent level)
3. Word Work
4. Write
5. Listen to reading
Meanwhile, you the teacher are doing guided reading groups with a mini-lesson between each group.
Look it up. Buy the book. Read it and implement it if you want your students to succeed at reading and writing. Happy Teaching!
