Special Features in Each Volume:
These volumes include Jane Claire’s Tips for Those Beginning Five in a Row, with step-by-step teaching guidance for each day of the week; Teacher’s Notes pages for every title, providing a place to record lessons, go-along resources, favorite memories, and more; and Activity Sheets for every title that support and add to the lessons.

In addition to the Five in a Row teacher’s manuals, you will need to access the picture books that each unit is based on. You can get these through your library or you can purchase them online.

We recommend adding a Math and Phonics program to complete your curriculum for children ages 5-9. (Five in a Row does not include a complete math program, and does not teach how to read.)
