I am in the process of reading The Daily Five. As a literacy coach in Minneapolis our district literacy team has referenced the book and process repeatedly. I am now trying learn more about it and how it will support our district's implementation of Readers and Writers Workshop.
Taken from the Daily 5 web site... "Real life ‘sisters’ Gail Boushey and Joan Moser are known by the teachers they’ve worked with in Washington state and throughout the country as researched, strategic, and fun. Their reflective practice and combined experience of +40 years has led to the development of The Daily 5, a structure for fostering literacy independence in the elementary grades. They are nationally known consultants who passionately share their expertise creating beautiful spaces for learning in classrooms, assessment-driven instruction and meaningful literacy." To learn more you can go to http://www.the2sisters.com/the_daily_5.htm I am very intrigued by their work, their book, how "real" and well it is written. I look forward to learning more and hearing what others on Mosaic have to day about it too.
