DAILY 5 IN 4TH GRADE
What is Daily 5 A management process to answer the
question “What do the other students do while I am doing reading groups?”
Daily 5 is not your instruction…guided reading is your instruction.
Read to Self Students need leveled books they can
read.
Students find a quiet comfortable place in the classroom to read independently.
Students continue to read in the same place until the signal to change.

Work on Writing Students need a journal or portfolio to write in
or store their writing. Students find a quiet and comfortable place in
the classroom to write independently. Students choose a topic to write about. If students don’t know how to spell a word they
sound the word out, underline the word and continue without disrupting their teacher.

read. Students sit side by side so they can talk
quietly and see the same book. Students can choose to read the same

asking each other questions about their reading.

expectations for each component by creating an I-Chart I in I-Chart stands for independence
After setting the expectations you have to hold students accountable for the expectations the class created.

My students don’t notice when they work a little longer in a rotation or for a little less time.
What materials do I need? Leveled books A way of knowing specific reading levels for students Chart tablets Paper Pencils Crayons Individual book storage A comfortable environment for learning. A signal so they know when the round is over. A gathering place for when the round of daily 5 is over.
