What teachers are saying about this course . . .
Loved the clear direction and purpose for independent reading. It is not just a time filler, but an instructional time for students."
I love that this is a course that is short, specific, and focused on this one topic so that I can improve in this one aspect with my students before moving onto another Daily 5/CAFE component."
Even though I have been using Daily 5 for several years, I enjoyed this concise refresher. Gail always explains things in an an engaging way. This helps me feel confident that what I am doing is good for kids!"
I really appreciated the instruction and then being able to see a practical application."
As a remedial reading teacher, I never really thought about teaching students to read independently but after taking this course, I think it will be worth the effort."
