The Daily 5 & CAFÉ
We have just begun our Daily 5 and CAFÉ adventure! This is the reading and writing program implemented in Mrs. Ganzon's classroom.
Daily 5 is the structure we will use to plan our morning. Children will be busy completing meaningful literacy tasks. The choices will be:
The children will learn reading strategies within each category. These strategies will become tools for the children to use to help themselves become better readers and writers. It is going to be exciting to watch your child's reading and writing skills blossom throughout the rest of the year!
If you have any questions regarding this program, please ask. I am always enthusiastic to share what I know about Daily 5 and CAFE!
Daily 5 is the structure we will use to plan our morning. Children will be busy completing meaningful literacy tasks. The choices will be:
- Read to self
- Work on writing
- Word Work
- Listen to reading
- Read to Someone
Right now, we are focusing on increasing our stamina to work independently. While the students are completing their literacy tasks, I will be meeting with small groups and conferencing with individual students.
Daily 5 is how we schedule our language block. CAFÉ is what we study during this time. CAFÉ is an acronym for the four major components of reading. They are: - C for Comprehension
- A for Accuracy
- F for Fluency
- E for Expanding Vocabulary
The children will learn reading strategies within each category. These strategies will become tools for the children to use to help themselves become better readers and writers. It is going to be exciting to watch your child's reading and writing skills blossom throughout the rest of the year!
