Great follow up book for the Daily 5.,
By
This review is from: The CAFE Book (Paperback)
This book is a great companion for the Daily 5 book. I keep both on my desk all the time. I am so impressed with how well the CAFE is understood and used by my grade 2 students. The book actually demonstrates all those reading strategies you're told to use but are never really explained. It makes my language block easy to plan for.

Just the right book,
This review is from: The CAFE Book (Paperback)
I wanted a reading program that was effective and reached all levels that students enjoy. I wanted it to be straightforward and gave me simple ideas that I could implement right away. This book does just that. My students love it and can't wait to read everyday. Having the daily 5 is also a simple way to compliment the program.

Another homerun for the Sisters!,
By James Hiller - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The CAFE Book (Paperback)
Surely, if you are reading this review, you are probably a fan or a devotee of this book: Daily Five, The, the book that provided a framework for literacy instruction that revolutionized classrooms across the country. After implementing "the Sisters" authentic literacy practices, teachers around the country asked, "What's next?" and the Sisters responded by writing "The Cafe Book". It's certainly a worthy partner of their first book.
Washingtonians Gail Boushey and Joan Moser are veteran master teachers, reflective, and insightful in their approach to the craft of education. This book provides the classroom tested, works in progress reading teaching that is happening in their classroom. The CAFE approach allows children to select literacy goals based on their reading needs (comprehension, accuracy, fluency, and expanding vocabulary), gives a framework for conferring with students, and offers tons of classroom tested tips and hints to make your reading teaching more successful. The Sisters writing is very transparent, examples of actual "language" they use with the kids, and extremely user friendly. Unlike some other education books, which require hours of time, or a master's degree to understand, the Sisters make their books easily accessible, easily understandable, and easy to put into practice. Not only that, the lessons and ideas are mighty powerful indeed. Don't worry. If you haven't implemented the Daily 5 into your classroom, the Cafe book can easily meet your needs as it provides yet another framework that can be adapted in your classroom. However, I can see the power of implementing both ideas into the room for true impact. If you are a newbie, I can't highly recommend enough "Daily 5". As a mentor with first year teachers, I've seen the impact of the framework on their daily reading block, and it's been quite amazing. Not only is the book loaded with pictures, but it comes with a CD that is ready to be used, with copies of the forms they have in the book that can be printed out. The Sisters are truly on the path of authentic, real life teaching practices. If you are a first year or twentieth year teacher like myself, in kindergarten or in fifth grade, this book will be an irreplaceable feature, and one that's frequently borrowed by colleagues after you brag about its impact, for years to come. Yes, it's THAT good. 22 of 22 people found the following review helpful:

I'm Really Excited for Next School Year to Start!!,
By A. Sims "Second Grade Teacher" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The CAFE Book (Paperback)
I ordered this book and "The Daily 5" on a whim about 2 weeks ago. I had not heard of "the sisters" before, but was intrigued by the premise of their books. Needless to say, I have yet to implement any of "the sisters'" strategies into my second grade classroom, but I am really excited to try it all out next year. Like others have said, the book is an easy read and chock-full of fabulous ideas for set-up, planning, management, and instruction. To put it plainly, their ideas make loads of sense and put individual student's literacy needs under the microscope. I recommend this book to anyone looking for fresh ideas on how to teach/encourage young readers to help themselves when reading.

Great book!,
By D. Roberts - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The CAFE Book (Paperback)
The CAFE Book is great! Very easy to read and I love the honesty of the 2 sisters. They each share times in their career when they were disorganized and had no clue what they were doing.
The CAFE system is easy to understand and implement. They give you a daily teaching guide for the first 26 days of school. The record keeping system is simple and effective. This book, along with The Daily Five, is the bulk of my reading instruction. |
