More Before Five in a Row is the new addition to the series and includes 14 new books. It has been specifically written as a preschool curriculum (3-5 year olds) but also serves as an encouragement to parents of young children by providing a simple Bible lesson at the beginning of each lesson. The gentle activities focused on early literacy skills are not meant to teach in depth concepts but to enhance your child's awareness of the world around them and create special bonding time between you and your child. Focusing on play and discussion, one of the activities might include a rhyming exercise or an activity talking about one of the five senses. The activities are a bit more detailed than the Before Five in a Row book. StoryDisks, a Storybook Map, and the Animal Classification Game are also included. Story Disks are circles that have an image that corresponds to a picture book used in Before, More Before, or Five in a Row Volumes 1-4. We will have a literature package for this volume as well.
Publisher's Description of More Before Five in a Row
Building on the foundation of the bestselling Before Five in a Row volume, More Before Five in a Row inspires your child's learning through extraordinary children's picture books while nurturing your relationship with them and making memories to last a lifetime! Designed for ages 3 through 5, this preschool and kindergarten curriculum is filled with lessons for you and your child to enjoy together and prepare your child for the lifelong adventure of learning.
Lessons covering six early literacy skills build a solid foundation for their future reading and writing success, while lessons covering science, social studies, applied math, language, and art concepts, playfully drawn from each story, boost their readiness for future academic endeavors. A focus on play and discussion-based learning favors the way a young child learns and retains information.
Lessons are drawn from a wide variety of outstanding children's books, including All the World, Baby Bear Sees Blue, Toot & Puddle, and Mighty, Mighty Construction Site.
Teaching Tips throughout help you apply important ideas from the lesson to everyday aspects of your child's life.
Animal Classification Cards help children develop simple, enjoyable classification skills.
Story Disks and a Storybook Map (black & white) provide hands-on fun for daily learning and prepare your child for later studies with Five in a Row.
Bible verses and devotionals (one for the parent, one for the child) are included for every book.
