Let’s Get Ready with Cedar Valley Publishing

I have been reviewing an amazing book used to prepare children for kindergarten and first grade. Every parent wants their child to excel in their education. When your child gets ready to enter kindergarten you want them to be ready. I have this same hope for my own little ones and I want to make sure I do what I can as a mother to prepare them.

While pregnant with my first I worked as a Teacher’s Aide in kindergarten. I noticed that no matter how wonderful the teacher was, if the parents didn’t do their part to teach their child at home then the child would begin to fall behind the other students. I didn’t want that to happen with my own children. Now that my oldest is four I have been trying to find the appropriate approach in helping my son. This has has been a harder task then I thought.

“Let’s Get Ready For Kindergarten” and “Let’s Get Ready For First Grade” has really helped direct me to the best teaching method. One of our struggles has been spelling his name correctly. He knows which letters to use, but didn’t seem the know the difference between upper and lower case. He also has struggled getting the letters in the right order. Some of the first pages included a list of all upper and lower case letters. This has really helped my son differentiate between the two. The next page had all the letters mixed up. This gave my son the chance to search for the letters he needed. He is a lot more familiar with the upper and lower case letters. He can even spell his name in order out load without mixing up the letters. I give much credit to “Let’s Get Ready For Kindergarten”. My son is recognizing numbers and now working on days of the week. He loves his book and the activities. “Let’s Get Ready For Kindergarten” is great for all types of learners and each page is made so that you can use dry-erase markers on them. Allowing your child to use a more hands on approach for learning. “Let’s Get Ready For Kindergarten” and “Let’s Get Ready For First Grade” is also available in an english and spanish version.

Stacey Kannenberg is the author of these wonderful books. I highly recommend this wonderful book. You can find “Let’s Get Ready For Kindergarten/First Grade” at www.cedarvalleypublishing.com or at Amazon (and other select booksellers nationwide).
