Let’s Get Ready for First Grade! by Linda Desimowich and Stacey Kannenberg

Let’s Get Ready for Kindergarten

Let’s Get Ready for Kindergarten by Linda Desimowich and Stacey Kannenberg
ISBN: 1-933476-00-1

One of a set of 2 books recently released by Cedar Valley Publishing, “Let’s Get Ready for Kindergarten” begins with an introduction by Mrs Good, the class teacher, who welcomes the students to a class for “children of all ages and stages of learning development”.

She encourages the reader to:

  • listen,
  • ask questions and
  • make this adventure fun!

    • Unlike other pre-K books, I like this book for the 2 lists of:
    a) early childhood skills that parents and teachers should introduce to the child and
    b) tips for parents and caregivers on how to bring out the best in their child.
