Get Ready for Kindergarten - Resource for New Kindergarten Families

We’ve all been asked the same question – “What can I do to make sure my child is ready for Kindergarten?” As the end of preschool nears, give parents exactly what they’re looking for, this pack includes simple activities that children and parents can easily do together to help prepare academically and socially for the expectations of Kindergarten.

This set includes 10 weeks worth of daily activities, one activity for each week day, which can be completed during the weeks between the end of preschool and the beginning of Kindergarten. The activities are simple, and designed to be easy for parents to facilitate using materials found in every home. Each week follows the same schedule;

Monday – Math concepts

Tuesday – Language and Literacy

Wednesday – Social/Emotional Skills

Thursday – Social Studies/Civics

Friday – Building confidence

This pack includes three different formats, each containing the same content. Please choose the format that meets your needs and will be most helpful to your families;

Workbook – 1 page for each of the 10 weeks

Calendar – Two 5 week calendar pages

Booklet – Half sheet booklets with one page per week

I’ve also included a parent letter that you can send home to help explain the Get Ready for Kindergarten activities.

I hope this resource helps your families feel confident in their children’s abilities and level of Kindergarten readiness. I also hope that it makes your job easier as you try to recommend resources and opportunities for each family.
