About
Before Five in a Row is the early-childhood companion to the Five in a Row series, written by Jane Claire Lambert. It uses 24 classic picture books as the anchor for informal learning through repeated readings, conversation starters, and hands-on extension activities. The guide covers Bible character traits, early math and science exposure, geography, and art appreciation across a nine-month rhythm. Parents select one book per week, read it daily, and use the manual's suggestions to build vocabulary, listening, and readiness skills. Designed for use before formal phonics instruction begins.
