Book Reviews of The Daily Five

Book Review: An excellent book
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this book looking for inspiration and hoping that it would contain useful ideas for organising my classroom. I was not disappointed. Gail Boushey and Joan Moser have come up with a well-researched, well-tested, clearly-presented system that will be adaptable to most elementary classroom situations.

The "daily five" are: read to yourself, read to someone, work on writing, listen to reading, and spelling/word work. The authors clearly explain how to model and support these skills so that students can work on each element for extended periods of time, leaving the teacher free to work with small groups and individual students.

I will most definitely be using their system as the basis of my own classroom management this year and am looking forward to observing how the daily five will work in my situation.

Summary of The Daily Five

Do you love teaching but feel exhausted from the energy you expend cajoling, disciplining, and directing students on a daily basis? If so, you'll want to meet "The Sisters", Gail Boushey and Joan Moser. Based on literacy learning and motivation research, they created a structure called The Daily Five which has been practiced and refined in their own classrooms for ten years, and shared with thousands of teachers throughout the United States. The Daily Five is a series of literacy tasks (reading to self, reading with someone, writing, word work, and listening to reading) which students complete daily while the teacher meets with small groups or confers with individuals.

This book not only explains the philosophy behind the structure, but shows you how to carefully and systematically train your students to participate in each of the five components.

Explicit modeling practice, reflecting and refining take place during the launching phase, preparing the foundation for a year of meaningful content instruction tailored to meet the needs of each child.

The Daily Five is more than a management system or a curriculum framework; it is a structure that will help students develop the habits that lead to a lifetime of independent literacy.
