Daily 5 is an approach to teaching Literacy that focusses on the strategies and fluency in reading rather than completing lots of worksheets about books. It makes learners aware of their next learning target and gives them the confidence to choose to use a range of strategies to develop their comprehension, accuracy, fluency and expanding their vocabulary.
