In the Before Five in a Row series, the authors have
carefully selected classic stories that are rich in content and illustration.
Not only is there a list of wonderful stories, but also a range of interesting
and simple activities to select from that correlate with the reading book.
Before Five in a Row 2nd edition has
much the same content as the original book. In fact, the stories remain the
same; however, there are three additional stories included. There are also
updated illustrations, Animal Classification Cards that help young minds
develop simple classification skills, and StoryDisks and a Storybook Map
providing hands-on fun. All of these activities are designed to prepare
children for later studies with More Before Five in a Row and Five in
a Row.
The book is divided into two parts. The first part lists the
24 stories along with the simple and creative activity suggestions such as
examining the stars or using colored tissue paper to make a simple collage. The
second part is filled with many ideas to help build a foundation of readiness
in some area of your child's life (talking and listening skills, coordination
skills, activities in the kitchen and many others). This is such a helpful
resource for young parents!
This series provides a wonderful way for parents or
grandparents to nurture their relationship with the little ones that are under
their charge and foster a lifelong adventure of learning.
Please note: The following titles are still
required for the program, but are not included in our literature package since
they are out of print by their publishers: The Red Carpet, Jenny’s Surprise
Summer, The Little Rabbit, and If Jesus Came to My House.
