What are your thoughts on the CAFE and the lowest readers in a first grade
class? Does it give them the support they need?

The Daily 5, and especially CAFE, do not lend themselves to phonics
programs. CAFE is build on teaching word attack, comprehension, fluency
strategies and providing time, space, and literacy materials for those
strategies to be used and deepened. Mini-lessons are usually developed as
a
result of teacher observation or other assessment and go along with what
most of the kids need to know at that particular time. The conferences
with
CAFE are where individual student needs, including phonics, are addressed.
Guided reading is also often related to what a small group needs in
strategy groups. Not that D5/CAFE are opposite from programs such as
phonics programs, but they are not really congruent.

We are transitioning to the Daily 5 and CAFE in k-2. I'm curious to know
if
any of you have discovered a good phonics program to go along with D5 /
CAFE. Currently, each grade level uses as different program, and we are
moving to a more systematic approach. I'd love some good recommendations.
Thanks!
