Launching Daily 5 Unit Plan

This unit plan outlines an 18-day plan to launch the Daily 5 literacy framework in a 2nd grade classroom. The Daily 5 framework includes 5 literacy stations: Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listen to Reading, Work on Writing, and Word Work. The plan introduces each component over the course of two weeks, providing focus lessons on reading skills/strategies and allowing students to practice the stations in rounds of Daily 5. Formative assessments like reading conferences and work samples are used to monitor progress and provide feedback. The overall goals are for students to become independent readers and writers and develop a healthy classroom culture of learning.
