Five in a Row Volume 2 - Digital PDF

Five in a Row, Volumes 1, 2 and 3 (Ages 5-9) are easy-to-follow, highly effective instructional guides for teaching Social Studies, Language Arts, Art, Applied Math, and Science using outstanding children’s literature as the basis for each weekly unit study. Lessons are designed for children ages 5 through 9, and include a discussion guide and questions, teacher answers, hands-on activities, and suggestions for further study. 

Visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners and teachers will all benefit from Five in a Row’s variety of lessons and activities, which are carefully laid out and available for you to choose whichever one fits your schedule for the day.  Expect to be ready to teach with as little as five minutes of preparation time. You’ll find everything you need to be an effective teacher at your fingertips—pronunciation guides to foreign words or phrases, background information on history, geography, art, and science lessons, and facts, figures, and activity suggestions for a wonderful variety of hands-on learning experiences.

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.)
