* I am very thankful to today's Homeschool Guest, Jen.  The curriculum she is writing about is near and dear to my heart:  Five in a Row.   We have rowed many books over the past few years and thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of them.  I KNOW you will find Jen's post informative and helpful.  Don't miss her printable at the end, either!

 

Five in a Row {FIAR} is, hands down, my favorite homeschool resource.  I love being able to introduce great literature to my children.  I think it helps my children develop a taste for good books at a young age and stay away from some of the mindless “twaddle” available.  The FIAR curriculum guide is a gentle, but very thorough way to introduce a broad range of different subjects to your children.
