DAILY 5 Meets ZONES

There's one question that always lingers around this program.  Why THIS program?
And the answer is always the same: balance. 

Our first discovery with this concept was with  literacy instruction.  It always seemed as if the same kids excelled, while the same kids continued to struggle.  We've all been there.  Something was missing.   

Finally, a new concept emerged and balanced literacy was born.  The Daily 5 balanced literacy approach allowed us eyes to see this concept was going somewhere.   If this works with reading, why can't it be applied to math? 

Meet ZONES Math - A balanced math framework.  Win. Win.

It's almost as if they were meant to be together - ha!
