Getting Ready for Kindergarten, The Getting Ready Series

This book is designed to review many of the concepts and skills addressed in pre-school, or possibly at home. Due to the level, parent involvement is a necessity. You will need to read the directions to your child before he/she can begin to work. In some cases you will read the directions as your child works. One Factor built into the book is the opportunity for your child to communicate verbally, which is an essential part of your child's development. Use every page to its fullest potential by talking about the pictures. Many times the directions will focus on a topic about which you and your child can converse. Don't limit yourselves to the topics. Feel free to expand or change the topic to focus on your child's interests. This will help in increase vocabulary, practice correct usage of verb forms, concentrate on speaking in complete sentences and even build self-confidence. Some page themes may inspire a real life hands on experience such as making an icecream sundae. Hands-on experiences are a wonderful learning tool especially for the young. See how many experiences you and your child can share!
