Kindergarten

Will your child be entering kindergarten this coming up school year? Here are some tips to help get him/her ready this summer.

1) Have your child practice writing his/her first and last name using all lower case letters (except for the first letters, of course).

2) Help your child learn and recognize all 52 upper case and lower case letters of the alphabet.

3) Talk about the letter sounds of the letters, especially the ones in his/her name.

4) Practice doing homework. Find a place and time when your child will be completing his/her homework every day and begin practicing the kindergarten skills during that time.  Homework time should not last more than 5-10 minutes.

5) Have your child begin practicing writing the lower case letters.

6) Have your child practice counting to 20.

7) Make sure your child can identify the numbers 0-9.

8) Have your child practice writing the numbers 0-9 correctly.

9) Can your child identify letters, colors, and shapes?
