READ TO SOMEONE. When introducing Read to Someone in kindergarten, we advise you to take your time, keep focus lessons brief, and start with the foundation lessons.
READ TO SELF. Week 3 is where the launch of Daily 5 in kindergarten blends nicely with the launch of Daily 5 in other grade levels. We follow the 10 Steps to Independence and build stamina to become better readers.
WORK ON WRITING. After the foundation lessons are secure in kindergarten, we start with the 10 Steps to Independence and the creation of the Work on Writing I-chart.
LISTEN TO READING. Kindergartners love Listen to Reading, and since independence and stamina for two or more Daily 5 choices is already established, this launch usually goes smoothly.
This coaching shows resources for your Daily 5 launch. Going virtual this year? You may also want to look at the Using Daily 5 in Online Learning session.
