CAFE

"CAFE an acronym for Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, and Expanding Vocabulary, and the system includes goal-setting with students in individual conferences, posting of goals on a whole-class board, developing small group instruction based on clusters of students with similar goals, and targeting whole-class instruction based on emerging student needs and fine tuning one on one conferring".-Gail Boushey and Joan Moser

After the mini lesson is taught, a visual reminder for the students what stratedy was taught is placed on the CAFE menu.  Above is an example of my CAFE Menu in my classroom this school year.
