Book Reviews of The Daily Five
Book Review: Wonderful management plan!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a wonderful resource for any teacher who has wondered what the other kids will be doing while you have reading conferences or small group instruction during your literacy block. Step by step, detailed lessons for the first 5 weeks of school will get your students working independently WITHOUT the need for you to create and plan an endless menu of center activities. The students will be doing what we need them to do most - reading and writing! This is a quick and easy read, with lots of classroom examples, and lessons for teaching your students to be independent withing the first 5 weeks of school. Get this book!Book Review: Practical, effective, and fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Practical and accessible, this book can bring joy to the teaching of reading and writing in the classroom. The authors, obviously expert teachers themselves, have developed a plan that creates independence as well as a love for reading and writing. The methods presented here make a lot of sense and are written in step by step fashion that makes them easy to implement. Teachers using this book will bring to their classroom teaching practices that are solidly grounded in research. They can be comfortable that they are creating a basis for life-long literacy learning. The book is a real find!

Book Review: The Daily 5
Summary: 5 Stars
The ideas and lesson procedures discussed in this book are very beneficial to teachers who incorporate balanced literacy components throughout their daily curriculum decisions. The discussion of muscle memory and how to build the students' stamina for longer periods of independent work are clearly laid out for the reader. A sample schedule that shows how to include daily lessons in the beginning weeks of school to build this stamina are detailed in the appendix. I would recommend this book for any teacher who wants to improve students' independent work time.Book Review: Excellent, practical buy even for experienced teachers!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book and read it within a few hours. This book is cleary written, conscise, not full of jargon, and truly written for the classroom teacher to implement effectively. I teach 1st grade and can easily transition my students into this routine. The authors offer practical advice regarding teaching of behaviors, management, assessment, and references for further reading and research. What a refreshing change from dense, heady teacher-reading! An ASSET to any professional library (literacy teacher or elementary teacher)!Book Review: Worth your time and money
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first heard of Daily 5 I thought, "Sure, another fad for classroom teachers." but what I've found is that it truly is a management system that allows me to teach. I am only part way through implementing, but it has already made a huge difference in my ability to focus on students who need help or who are ready for more. The biggest moment of truth was when my I.E.P. student who fights reading by himself every step of the way, read to himself for 15 minutes and was disappointed when it was time to stop. Well done Sisters!
