The Daily 4 will be used during our 90 minute reading block each day. The Daily 4 is similar to stations, but has a little bit different frame work. Each day students have the opportunity to choose which Daily 4 topic they will be practicing. The four topics are: Read to Self, Read to Someone, Work On Writing, and Word Work. Each topic has a plethora of activities students can choose from. So the skill sets stay the same each week, but the activities students will be working on will be changing all the time!
I am excited to use the Daily 4 framework, because it will allow for a lot of independent practice on the important reading and writing strategies as well as provide me with a lot of time to do guided reading lessons with individual students or small groups! This will help with giving each student more tailored reading instruction!
