Five in a Row

We have been using Five in a Row off and on for several years.  We love the literature and the rhythm of reading the books multiple times during the week.  Right now it also works well for family style teaching.  Different age kids learn different elements from the same book.

I wrote a guest post at Homegrown Learners called Why We Use Five in a Row

*New*- I created a FIAR Planning Page printable.  I hope you find it helpful!

and here is how I go about Planning our Five in a Row - with a v-log!
