I agree - the Daily Five is a great literacy routine, not only teaching great reading strategies, but also cooperative learning strategies and independent learning strategies. It has worked very well in our 1st-3rd grades. The authors also have a GREAT website.

There are 30 students in that classroom and it is very hard for the teacher to get through reading groups with the students while the others are engaged in something meaningful. Basically, there are five groups and when we are working with each group, she asks the rest of the class to work on their paper for writerâ™ workshop. I observed that students do not do this. As many times as we tell them to get back to their seats or get to work they heads are always somewhere else. It bothers me to see this and I really need advice on what would be the best way to keep the other students engaged in their work and what should they be working on during that time? Writerâ™ workshop is not working. _________________________________________________________________ Rediscover HotmailÂ: Now available on your iPhone or BlackBerry http://windowslive.com/RediscoverHotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Rediscover_Mobile2_042009 _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
