Why?

To be a better reader, students need lots of lots of practice. In the past few years, I felt that was what was missing from my classroom! Sure we did lots of skills and strategies, but we did not practice enough! Then I found “The Sisters”! The Daily Five has helped me manage reading instruction, created an environment in which second graders read for 40 minutes at a time INDEPENDENTLY, and changed my life!
