One reading program I’ve learned about and would like to explore further is the Daily 5. This is a literacy framework that helps students build independent reading habits while teachers provide targeted support. It was created by Gail Boushey and Joan Moser and is used in many elementary classrooms. The “Daily 5” includes five components: Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listen to Reading, Work on Writing, and Word Work. Students rotate through these activities during literacy time.What I find interesting about this approach is how it gives students choice and responsibility. Instead of just being told what to read or write, students pick books that interest them and move at their own pace. This supports one of the key ideas from this course: that literacy is not one-size-fits-all. Everyone learns differently, and giving students control over their reading choices can improve motivation and engagement. From a pedagogical point of view, the Daily 5 is based on constructivist and student-centered learning. It values the idea that students learn best by doing, reflecting, and building on their own experiences. It also supports multimodal literacy because it includes listening (audio books), writing (journals, notes), reading aloud (oral expression), and visual skills (decoding texts).I also see how the Daily 5 can be adapted to include technology and digital tools for example, students might listen to reading through podcasts or record themselves reading using tablets. These are all ways to bring multimodal learning into the classroom.Overall, I think the Daily 5 encourages independence, supports different learning styles, and creates a positive reading environment. I’d like to learn more about how it can be used in older grades and with multilingual learners.
