The Daily Three , is a student driven management structure designed to fully engage students in reading . It ’ s a framework of creating explicit instructional reading routines , modeling appropriate and inappropriate reading behaviour and building the student ’ s stamina . Daily Three consists of three literacy tasks that teach students independence to enhance reading skills at the beginning stage .

Establishing Reading Behaviours
Teaching students appropriate and inappropriate reading behaviour by modeling should be the first step until all students are trained . It should then become part of everyday practice . Teachers should praise the appropriate and confront inappropriate behaviour . Modeling , role play and preparing I-charts with students , is a great visual aid for showing appropriate and inappropriate behavior .
Three Ways to Read a Book
In the kindergarten setting , the teacher should model and train students in the three ways of reading a book , these are ; " Reading the pictures ", " Reading the Words " and also " Retelling a familiar Story ". Simply teaching students the 3 ways of reading a book include :
A . Self-Reading
This embodies the language , routines , expectations , and behaviours on which all the other components of Daily 3 are based . Children need to read a book that is appropriate to their level . If they are attempting to read books that are too difficult , this often results in pretend reading and it is not helping them progress . Reading picture books is a fine choice for beginning readers . Read to self , involves the following four elements :
• Read the whole time
• Stay in one spot
• Read quietly teachmiddleeastmag . com
• Get started right away

B . Read to Someone
This is designed to support fluency practice , to allow students to read with someone else , for support , with a similar strategy or sometimes because it is fun for them . There are two ways to read to someone ; reading the same book together while taking turns or reading two separate “ just right ” books . Partners read to each other , if the reader pauses , partner coaches or gives time to think and re-read . It provides the reader with a small
gift of time , which is often enough to describe a picture or decode for themselves .

• Whisper voice
• Check for understanding
• Read the whole time
• Stay on spot
C . Listening to Reading
This helps to improve fluency , vocabulary , and language acquisition for English language learners . It can also be a focusing and calming activity for students . When a student chooses " Listen to Reading " they grab all the materials they will need for that choice which includes IPads , Interactive White Boards and Audiobooks . After listening to the story , the teacher asks questions to check their understanding . Steps for listening to read are :
• Get out materials
• Listen to the whole story
• Follow along with pictures and / or words
• Stay in one spot .
• Listen quietly .
• Get started quickly
• Put materials away neatly
Guided reading group with teacher
Once all the daily three reading routines are implemented and students stay on task , allowing teachers plenty of time to work with a group and checking for comprehension , accuracy , fluency and vocabulary of the students . Whilst doing comprehension activities , students should be actively involved by using cooperative learning strategies . The teacher can also check and assess students reading for understanding , let the students reread the book if they are not understanding it or can use partner work to coach .
