Be Better Prepared for Kindergarten!

10 Ways to Prepare Your Child for Kindergarten:

1. Read books every day.

2. Develop fine motor skills: holding a pencil, coloring, cutting with scissors.

3. Print first name with only the first letter capitalized.

4. Learn to follow 2-step instruction: “Please go get your shoes and put them on.”

5. Use good manners: “Please” and “Thank You”

6. Talk about social skills: sharing, taking turns, positive words, talking about handling anger.

7. Help you child take responsibility: clean up messes, dress themselves, open their own food containers.

8. Practice number recognition. Count objects daily.

9. Practice letter and sound recognition. Practice saying letters and sounds every day.


10. Build self-esteem. Praise your child often because kindergarten can be hard!
