What is CAFE and Daily 3?
CAFE is used to help students grow as readers. Students focus on four areas during reading: Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, and Expand Vocabulary. Students learn and practice new reading skills to become stronger in each of the four areas.
Students will be taking part in Daily 3 rotations during reading. These three rotations will be read to self, work on writing, and word work. During this time students develop their reading, writing, and spelling skills.
