I just read Laura's response and agree with her. The Daily Five is the management piece, and adapts well to any grade level. CAFE is a great guide for teaching reading strategies. As a coach and Title I teacher, I've help implement them both in our school. They work perfectly with Fountas and Pinnell's First 20 Days and Lucy Calkins---readers' and writers' workshops. The "I" charts help students understand the purpose and procedures in each component, encourage independent work and are should be constantly referred to. Students spend more time actually reading. However, you must be willing to spend the time to really teach the procedures. It will pay off in the long run.
