Daily 5 Digital Binder for Remote Learning!
My students have a binder that they use for the Daily 5 every day during the reading block. Inside they keep all of their reading logs, anchor charts from mini-lessons, genre charts, word lists for word work and poems or passages to work on fluency. They have a separate notebook for work on writing activities.
I created a digital version that I believe will serve them well this year! What is amazing about the digital version is that I learned I do not need to have thought of every little thing that needs to be in their notebook right now. I can edit a master copy during the year and it will automatically edit their student copies in Google Classroom.
I KNOW! Another game changer!! I learned this bit of magic from Jessica Wildings You-Tube Channel video How to Make Student Digital Interactive Notebooks Update When You Update Your Master Copy.
So go check that out and I will meet you back here!!Did you see the drawback video link? Updates only break the link within the same slideshow. Hyperlinks still work. So I made separate files for each tab and link them that way!
Here is the first file that the other files are linked to. If you wish to use these files, you will need to click on the links to make forced copies of each file. I have also included links for products that I have purchased in the past and made digital (see below for how!) as well as a product I made for digital reading logs. All of these links can be found on page 3 of this first file. Click on the picture below to make a forced copy.
This file also has the contents of the first tab- Reading Logs. I created digital reading logs that the students will use throughout the year. I posted the Fiction Pack on TpT and will be creating and posting both Non-Fiction and Author's Craft soon. These logs are designed to extend the mini-lessons on strategies. A few examples are below.
Next, we have Genre. The first page is an overall cheat sheet of different types of genres and their characteristics. This was a freebie from Scholastic about a million years ago- an oldie but a goodie!!
After this, I used Reading Genre Posters by Raise the Bar Reading. I made them interactive by taking screenshots of the poster parts and making them moving pieces. After we review the genre in a mini-lesson, students will put the poster together in their binder. I usually have them choose a book from that genre for Round 1 of Daily 5 (Read to Self, Someone or Listen to Reading) as well.
On to Word Work. We use Fundations by Wilson, but we have created our own word lists based on the spelling patterns covered. I included these for you if you wish to use them. Each list has a moveable list on the side called Spelling to Go. Students can copy this text box and then paste it on the slide they choose to complete for word work so that their list is in front of them. They do not need to toggle back and forth!
I used a Freebie- Digital Spelling Activities from Sailing Into Second for word work options.
This is the only file that has tab links within it. I have set it up so that there will most likely not be any edits made from me to the master file. If I do, I will show students how to link pages during a small group break-out session.
The last file is Fluency. I used 5 Step Fluency passages from Jodie Southard. There are enough for the entire year. Students will complete 1 passage a week. She offers a digital version, but it is not interactive. I made the slides interactive by adding moveable clipart and highlighting strips. When you add moveable clipart, be sure to search for transparent clipart so the background is removed. To make highlight strips, you create a shape, add color, and then under the color tab click custom. You can then adjust the transparency level to make it a highlight strip! Lastly, I added a you-tube video of a 1 minute counter. They complete one task per day for either morning work or before one of the rounds in Daily 5.
That is my Digital Daily 5 Binder! Enjoy!!
