Books to Help Ease the Transition to Kindergarten

  • July 15, 2019

  • The Upper Middle

With a new school year in a few weeks, excitement and anxiety can be running at an all time high for new scholars. For both parents and kindergarten children, the important transition can bring out nervous feelings. For many kindergarteners, the not knowing what expect at school, fears about new rules and worries about interactions with other classmates can cause a wide range of emotions from excitement to fear that can often be overwhelming.

An incredible tool that can help young children adjust to school is to read books on the topic. Children’s books provide an opportunity to promote and strengthen literacy, while helping to set expectations, experiences and to calm fears.

To help your child prepare for kindergarten, The UM has put together a list of books that help parents answer questions and show their children what to look forward to, while answering questions about all the learning and fun that awaits them in the classroom.

Click here for a parent resource guide on transitioning to kindergarten from the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
