This is the first article in a five-part series about Ruth's experiences

In 2007, English teacher Ruth was sponsored by Studio Classroom and the New Zealand Trade Development Centre to visit New Zealand families as well as visiting tow different schools. This is the first article in a five-part series about Ruth's experiences.

Hi,

I find it hard to understand the part in bold in the above. Is it proper to reword it as "This is the first of the five articles about Ruth's experiences?" Thanks.
