For reading, we have adopted the Cafe and The Daily 5™ programs. These programs teach the young readers to use the appropriate strategies to help them to either figure out an individual word (accuracy), to check for understanding of what they read (comprehension), to begin to read smoothly and with few errors (fluency), and to learn new words (expand vocabulary). Above is a table containing strategies that the children can use at home when reading. It also contains the Common Core State Standard it is linked to. Here is a link to the Parent Pipeline to assist you in assisting your children at home.
The Daily 5™ is more than a management system or a curriculum framework - it is a structure that helps students develop the daily habits of reading, writing, and working independently that will lead to a lifetime of literacy independence.
