Reading has a high correlation with increased scholastic performance. I bet the socialization a child receives in preschool could help them in their academic career as well.

Hi Christi,

We don’t have a first grade printable yet but I will add it to our blog lineup and will email when it’s ready in a couple of weeks. 🙂

Talk to you soon,

Malia

I am a grandmother of a little one starting kindergarten in the fall. Due to situations out of my children’s control, she was not able to attend preschool last year. I have tried to download your 10 Simple Ways to get ready for kindergarten, but the internet shuts down when I try. Is there a way to email it to me? Many thanks!
Julie

I’m so happy to hear that the list is helpful, Jen!! When it comes to my kids, I worry about a lot of things too. It sounds like you’re doing everything right though and your oldest will be ready to soar in kindergarten. 🙂

My oldest will be in Kindergarten next year and we are both nervous. I love the reminder that these simple things (that we are already doing) will be enough. Sometimes all of those creative mommies and brilliant kids out there can make me forget that! (=

I loved that they really are simple. I’ve pinned this to my parent share board and shared on my fb as well. A super resource for parents of kids entering kindergarten. Thanks for sharing this on the Back-to-School with KBN linky.
