Daily 5 Pacing Guide {Freebie}
I have used this pacing guide for the last few years. I have taken the components of the Daily 5 book and typed it up in a format easier for me to use from day to day. (note the page #'s correspond to the first edition of the book)
This is a 5 week launch as prescribed by the 2 sisters.
I have also included 2 versions of the checklists I use for checking students in once we get into the "swing" of things.
I know this is free, but I'd love to hear your feedback.
Thanks so much and happy reading!
