Beyond Five in a Row (Ages 9-12)
Building on the foundation of loving learning and the joy of discovery begun in Five in a Row while upholding academic excellence, Beyond Five in a Row will encourage critical thinking and develop character growth in interpersonal relationships. This is one of our most unique product lines!
Beyond Five in a Row is similar to Five in a Row in that it is based on quality literature, academically rich and focused on enjoying the learning experience. It is different in that the books chosen are chapter books rather than picture books, and half of the books covered are biographies. Each book unit is designed to take six to eight weeks to complete, and there are three volumes of four units each and one additional unit – enough schooling material for two to three years, depending on your student.
You will be astounded at the richness and the joy of learning that flows from these carefully chosen chapter books and the accompanying Beyond Five in a Row lessons.
This is truly a rich curriculum taught in a way that encourages students to think, wonder, research, and quickly find a place to apply what they have learned.
Best of all, Beyond Five in a Row students want to keep learning- no burnout here!
Above and Beyond Five in a Row (ages 12+) is unit study based on Hitty: Her First Hundred Years and is designed to be used independently by the student. Students can take this book on their own and set off on a wonderful learning adventure in the best Five in a Row tradition- great books, fascinating lessons and exciting learning. It is similar to the other Beyond Five in a Row units, but adds instruction on writing a research paper and participating in a community project.
Both levels of study include creative writing or essay projects with every lesson, social studies (including history, geography, human relationships), science, vocabulary, career path studies and much, much more. All you’ll need to add is daily arithmetic and the trio subjects grammar/spelling/penmanship. Everything else is included!
We also sell a Five in a Row Cookbook (including recipes for Beyond and Five in a Row Volumes 1-3) and Christian Character & Bible Supplement to complement your Beyond Five in a Row lessons. (These lessons are included in the Above & Beyond unit.)
All of the Beyond Five in a Row units inspire a depth of study that builds upon the academic foundation of Five in a Row both in the realm of character development and superb educational lessons.
