![[Above & Beyond Five in a Row]](http://www.fiveinarow.com/images/abovebanner.gif)
These suggestions for internet websites should be used to further enrich your student's studies, not as a substitute for the lessons provided in Beyond Five in a Row. It goes without saying that use of the internet requires wisdom and supervision of your student's access to the wide variety of sometimes unwholesome material available in cyberspace. On the other hand, there are wonderful resources available from businesses, agencies and universities that can provide a rich resource for learning. Use wisdom and learn about the internet yourself rather than just turning your student loose with a modem and web browser!The links listed below have been found to be excellent and helpful resources for enriching Beyond Five in a Row lessons.
