Literacy Time in 1st Grade!

As growing readers and writers in first grade, there are many different literacy components that students engage in during the reading/writing block of our day.  Our literacy time is based off of the Daily Five philosophy, which promotes choice and independence during reading and writing activities.  We believe this philosophy develops greater student engagement and meaningful reading/writing activities for the students.  Each day, the first grade students have the opportunity to choose between four categories that will promote what he/she is learning within the classroom.  These categories are Word Work, Read to Self, Work on Writing, and Listen to Reading.  Students work on 1 or 2 of these categories when they are not meeting in a small group.

Here is Daily Five in Action!

 Work on Writing



Read to Self




Listen to Reading



Word Work


Small Group Time
