The method aims to develop independence for reading and writing at the elementary level and consists of 5 learning activities for students to work on daily, while the teacher can support individuals or small groups. The Daily 5 teach the teachers how to encourage the students to participate methodically and systematically in the five components of the program:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Read to Self<\/li>\n
  2. Read to Someone<\/li>\n
  3. Work on Writing<\/li>\n
  4. Listen to Reading<\/li>\n
  5. Word Work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The CAFE System is a practical and simple way to assess the daily reading activities in the classroom. Based on studies done on skilled readers, the CAFE system provides a structure for one-on-one lessons, as well as a method to assess the evolution of the students and help them to be independent. This method helps teachers evaluate the needs of their students and develop a plan to reach their reading and writing goals. The main objective remains to develop the reading and writing abilities of the students and that is precisely what the CAFE method does. Here is what the acronym “CAFE” means at \u00c9cole des Beaux-Lacs:<\/p>\n

    C omprehension<\/p>\n

    A ccuracy (reading)<\/p>\n

    F luency<\/p>\n

    E xpanding vocabulary<\/p>\n

    “GB +” literacy program at the elementary level. The “GB +” literacy program helps students develop their reading and writing skills. The collection has reading booklets with different sets and increasingly difficult levels, for a total of 354 titles and 30 levels.\u00a0Based on the assessment procedures developed by Marie M. Clay, a world-renowned scholar, the material will help to:<\/p>\n

    – \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Find the appropriate reading level;<\/p>\n

    – \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Detect learning disabilities;<\/p>\n
