Books in Getting Ready for Kindergarten series

Listening skills prepare a child for school and in particular, for learning to read. The activities and games in this book are designed to help children identify and categorize sounds, recognize rhythms and rhymes, and encourage an awareness of the elements of language. Through cross-curricular activities that incorporate games, music, phonemic awareness, phonics, and literature, your students will learn to attend to the world of sounds around them. These experiences will prepare children for Kindergarten where they will learn to link sounds to letters and blend sounds to make words.

Encourage young children to learn about themselves and others. The teaching ideas in All About Me will help you to give children opportunities to share their interests, experiences, similarities, and differences. With cross-curricular activities in language, math, science, social studies, and more, your students will discover ways in which they are unique and special. The activities in this book will help children develop a positive self-concept, foster social skills, and encourage independence and decision-making skills, all while preparing them for the exciting world of kindergarten.
