Known to many as “The 2 Sisters,” Gail Boushey and Joan Moser are passionate educators and collaborators on a single vision—creating a replicable, reliable way to teach children how to be independent lifelong learners, starting in their earliest years. To that end, Gail and Joan are published authors of the best-selling books The Daily 5: Fostering Literacy Independence in the Elementary Grades (now in its Second Edition) and The CAFE Book: Engaging all Students in Daily Literacy Assessment and Instruction and many related online articles. They’ve created over a dozen professional development DVDs, including Good-Fit Books. They facilitate workshops and speak throughout the U.S., Canada and internationally on their teaching method, adopted with resounding success by teachers and districts grappling with ever-changing curricula and mandates. They established the Daily CAFE website in 2008 as a learning and sharing hub for educators and have curated its growth ever since. Joan and Gail are known for engaging presentations, sharing the research behind their methods—and weaving fun into everything they teach and do. The sisters started their careers in Washington State in the U.S. They really are sisters—and elementary teachers with over 60 years of combined instructional experience between them in grades K-6, including Special Education, Reading Resource Specialist and Literacy Coach roles. Joan earned her Master’s Degree in Education as a Reading Resource Specialist. Gail’s Master’s of Education Degree is in Special Education.
