Daily 5 This year in Language Arts, part of our program will consist of the Daily 5. The components of Daily 5 are:
1. Read to Self 2. Read to Someone 3. Work on Writing 4. Word Work 5. Listen to Reading
Part of the Daily 5 is learning how to pick just right books for read to self. We call it IPICK. The letters stand for: I - I choose a book P - Purpose: What is the purpose of reading this book? I - Interest: Is this book of interest to me? C - Comprehend: Do I comprehend (understand) what this book is about? K - Know: Do I know most of the words. (5 mistakes on one page is too many and means the book is too hard.)
You can use this method of choosing books at home too!
