Hi, I started using the Daily Five last year for independent reading. I followed it exactly, and it was the MOST POWERFUL way to do independent reading. It really works if you are careful to follow it. It is not just DEAR time, it builds stamina. In the Mosaic 2, she talks about increasing the time for independent reading each day. It does build muscle memory and certainly does work. I could only use the reading portion last year, but will use writing this year. It is an easy book to follow and now they have videos that I can't wait to view. Also, there is a web site that they have that is great.
