Would you like to successfully differentiate instruction in your classroom, teach children in small groups and confer individually with more students in one day?

Daily Five provides meaningful instruction blocks without extensive preparation time for teachers. Daily Five is a structure which helps students develop the daily habits of reading, writing and working with peers that will lead to a lifetime of independent literacy. |

CAFE in the Classroom-Newman |
| |
|
When embarking on the reading workshop journey, many teachers ask the same question: What do I teach? CAFE is an acronym that stands for Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, and Expanding Vocabulary. For teachers struggling with the question of what to teach, CAFE is a good place to start because it reaches to the heart of what’s important in reading instruction. CAFE is a practical, simple way to integrate assessment into daily reading and classroom discussion. The CAFE system, based on research into the habits of proficient readers, is an acronym for Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, and Expanding vocabulary. The system includes goal-setting with students in individual conferences, posting of goals on a whole-class board, developing small-group instruction based on clusters of students with similar goals, and targeting whole-class instruction based on emerging student needs. This course will help the participants launch the CAFE system in their classroom. CAFE supports teachers as they: organize assessment data so it truly informs instruction; track each child's strengths and goals, thereby maximizing time with him or her; create flexible groups of students, all focused on a specific reading strategy; and help students remember and retrieve the reading strategies they learned. This course is perfect for elementary school teachers and a great compliment to the Daily Five course! |
