I have been trying to implement Daily 5 concepts into my classroom since the school started. We have a basal reading program and very limited extended time during my day. I usually implement it after Writing Workshop(since we are required to have a separate 45 minute slot for that). This week I introduced the last of the five: work on words. I have to also include a program called Read About in which my students have to log on to the computer to do for minimum 20 minutes 2 times per week. I use that in my five as listening to reading.
I have to say it seems to be working and the kids love to get to the read to self part each day. This system is allowing me to get to my groups. There are two problems that I am having though; management of certain kids and being able to give more than 20 minutes of reading at a time. If any of you have any ideas I'd love to hear of them.
