Ready for Preschool or Kindergarten?

Before entering Preschool or Kindergarten, it's important that your child have certain developmental skills for a richer, more meaningful experience in their first year in elementary school. To do that, consider some of the following activities.

• Find opportunities for drawing and coloring. This helps build a child's fine motor hand and eye skills.
• Read daily to your child and ask him/her what's happening in the story. This encourages listening and following a sequence of events and builds one's imagination.
• Practice following one- and two-step directions. This helps introduce a classroom environment based on rules.
• Count everything! Crayons, blocks, how many stairs you walk up, street signs. This shows that learning is fun and opportunities are everywhere.
• Point out letters and numbers you see in books and signs. This builds character recognition used to communicate in language.
