Have you ever wondered if your child is ready for school? Are you tired of handing out worksheets to have them returned incomplete or scribbled on? This book will not only provide activities that will provide opportunity to create a smooth transition to school for your child but they will not sit and complete worksheets they will be involved in hands on activities. This book is the second of five in the series each outlining the New Zealand early childhood curriculum as well as links to the school key competencies. Each book contains over 35 activities, how to techniques, printable options, benefits of each activity and learning outcome prompts for learning stories. These can be printed out each time you attempt the activity or you can laminate them to make a durable resource to use over and over again. My books provide both the theory and the practical means to create learning, hands on activities for children. My books can be used by parents new and experienced teachers for ideas, activities and prompts for learning stories for children's profile books. This book is a complete resource, for ideas, techniques, program planning, print outs for children nearly at school age as much as it is adaptable to children with special needs or young toddlers. This so adaptable you will find yourself returning to it time and time again.
