Five in a Row is a literature-based unit study curriculum. Many families use it for all but the grammar/reading and math, and others use it in conjunction with other resources. Each link below leads to a page for the FIAR book with information about the author and illustrator, story summaries, and links to lesson plans and websites that are great go-alongs for each story.
Please note that these resources are meant to complement, not replace, the Five in a Row units. The Five in a Row volumes are inexpensive and well worth the investment. Digital versions of the volumes are available, supplementary digital resources are being added to the line to enhance your units, and lapbook-style Fold & Learn ideas are free to their newsletter subscribers.
