The Literacy CAFE'
The Literacy CAFE' is based on the most current research about developing proficient readers. It provides a structure for teachers to confer with students, a language for talking with students about reading development, and a system for tracking student growth. It's an assessment system built into the Daily 5 structure. The Literacy CAFE' is the collection of strategies that are taught to foster literacy development. The areas of focus are Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, and Expanded Vocabulary. As strategies are introduced, they are added to the CAFE' Menu of strategies that students may pull from to help support their reading development.
