Reading For Understanding
Apply strategies and skills to comprehend, respond to, interpret, or evaluate a variety of texts of increasing length, difficulty, levels of difficulty, and complexity. Complexity is indicated by such elements as sophistication of language, content, and syntax. Analyze (interpret, compare, contrast, evaluate, etc.) literary elements in multiple texts from a variety of genres and media for their effect on meaning, and to recognize, and assess the effectiveness of, patterns and connections. Demonstrate an understanding of text, subtext, and context. Interpret textual evidence of details, organization, and language to predict, draw conclusions, or determine author's purpose. Critique the author's choice and placement of words (diction and style) in an analysis of the reader's response to the text. Appreciate and comprehend literal aspects, along with figurative subtleties and nuances. Accurately read instructional level materials (texts in which no more than approximately 1 in 10 words is difficult to the reader) with an appropriate reading rate.

This video demonstrates how The Daily Five works in a second grade classroom. The Literacy program has been modified a bit for her classroom, but is pretty much true to the book. She tells what all 5 stations are and how what they look like. Altho...ugh this features second grade, the centers are the same for all elementary and activities could easily be modified for other grade levels.
