There’s so much more to kindergarten readiness than letter recognition. Maybe it’s because I’ve always wanted to be a teacher…but it baffles me that families don’t understand that 3, 4, and 5 year olds learn better through play than worksheets. Here’s a FREE parent handout to send home to help those families recognize what play is actually all about!
FREE Parent Handout: This Is Actually Why We Play
This FREE printable is a 2 page PDF file. Both pages have the same text, but one has clipart and one is more ink-friendly (Read here about how I save money printing in COLOR!)
This letter is great for daycare, preschool, and kindergarten!
I wish parents understood the importance of developing social skills in preschool.
It seems like parents often think it’s all on the preschool to prepare their child for kindergarten. But we can only do so much without consistency from home!
I’m hoping this handout will help parents understand a little better why we don’t sit kids in a circle and drill flash cards all day. Or send home 5+ worksheets.
Do you have that issue in your school? Are you a private or public school? Comment below, I’d love to find out more about your schools and what else I could share that would be helpful for you!
