    University of New York : The Effects of the Daily Five.
    This is a research paper that is 76 pages in length and it explains the effectiveness of the Daily Five which was developed by Gail Boushey & Joan Moser.  The Daily Five was developed in 2006 as a literacy instructional approach that teaches children to work independently on five different tasks during a literacy block or reading time. The five tasks are reading to self (from a leveled library), reading to someone, writing, word work, and listening to reading.  The author of this research utilized classroom observations, anecdotal notes, along with interviewing teachers who currently use the Daily Five to get a first-hand knowledge of the program.
