"Daily 5" at Whittier! 3.20.13

Students in the 1st, 3rd and 5th grades at Whittier are hard at work with their teachers, improving their reading and writing skills using the "Daily 5" technique.

The "Daily 5" incorporates activities such as "Read to self", "Read to someone", "Listen to reading" and others, and students are placed in small groups and rotate as needed, with the teacher working with a small group while the other groups work independently.

Teachers who have implemented the "Daily 5" have seen steady improvements in both classroom and assessment results with their students!
