Daily 5 - Writing about Reading
During the Work on Writing center of our Daily 5 Literacy Block, students take the time to respond to their reading. In their reader's notebooks the students thoughtfully reflect on what they read each and every day in one of two ways. On guided reading days, students respond to an open response based on their instructional reading book. Responses are scored on the spout using the posted rubric. On days when students do not meet for guided reading, they write about their independent reading book. This entry includes examples of the strategies he/she used while reading, along with examples of new words he/she learned while reading.
