Kindergarten Readiness


Your baby is growing up and getting ready to start kindergarten. Before he heads out the door, you will want to make sure that he is ready to begin his formal education.  Being ready requires more than knowing the alphabet and showing up for school.  Having solid social skills will make for an easier transition.
Checklists
Here are five blog posts listing various types of readiness checklists that you can use with your child to make sure that he is ready for school.  Don’t worry if he doesn’t do everything perfectly.  Look at these checklists early so that you can work on the skills during the summer months.
Social Skills
While a child may be old enough to attend school he might not be socially ready.  If your child clings to your leg when faced with a stranger or refuses to be left with a sitter, resolving these issues before he starts school is important.  These five blog entries will explain way.
Math
Does your child know his numbers?  If he can count items in a bowl or on the table and if he has the ability to pick up small items and move them around he’s probably ready for kindergarten math.  These five blog posts will provide more math readiness tips.
Language
Children should be able to communicate with the teacher and others as well as understand what is being taught or explained to them.  Language skills can include knowing the alphabet and recognizing letters on the page, but they are not limited to just that.
Activities
Here are some activities that these five bloggers have put together to help your child get ready for kindergarten.  Kids will most likely enjoy these activities and not even realize they are getting ready to go to school.  Encourage your child to use their creativity as you do these activities together.
