The first day of school is one of the most important days in every child's life. But it can also be scary?for both parent and child!?if you're unprepared. That's why it's key to get your kids ready for the classroom with Let's Get Ready. The wipe-clean activity board and reward stickers in this fun, hands-on workbook will help kids develop the creativity and critical thinking skills that are crucial for the classroom. Building on the concepts learned in Let's Create, these exciting, brightly-colored pages cover three important developmental areas that will help children build the fundamental skill sets needed for success in school:
Counting from 1-10: Covers math concepts like sequencing numbers, learning how a number is spoken, and comparing large and small amounts
Solving Mazes: Teaches decision making skills, early handwriting skills, matching, and working through a problem
Problem Solving: Fosters critical thinking, creative problem solving, and teaches early math concepts of colors and shapes
As children complete the activities in Let's Get Ready, first with the help of a parent and then on their own, kids will gain the confidence they'll need in school, and develop a sense of curiosity that will serve them well for many years to come.
