Encouraging Voracious Readers
& a LOVE for Reading
Daily 5 & CAFE
The Reading "Lingo"
Reading is an important part of a student's daily life and success. At Sheridan each grade level has an uninterrupted 90 minutes of Reading Instruction everyday. The Daily 5 is consistent throughout the grades here at Sheridan Elementary and it provides a framework for students to practice strategies that encourage and foster reading growth at each student's individual level. Students can choose activities or work with their teacher to select choices towards individual reading growth each day.
CAFE is a menu of Strategies that contribute to a student becoming an independent reader. CAFE strategies are used on a daily basis by all students. Students will learn curriculum and set individual reading goals by using the CAFE strategies and reading "good fit" books at their levels.
The strategies fall within 4 basic categories:
C- Comprehension
A - Accuracy
F- Fluency
E- Expanding Vocabulary
