Why we love these books

My son and I began our homeschooling journey using Before FIAR and Five in a Row. We snuggled up together and read books which have become lifetime favorites.

Then I shared my love of the FIAR learning style with 100’s of children over several summers during library time at summer camp.

The Five in a Row volumes are incredible and are a valuable addition to your home library.

The resources and suggestions linked here on the website are meant to complement your FIAR journey, helping you find just the right activity to do with your little kiddo, giving you more time to read their favorite story “just one more time”!
