School Readiness Through Play

School readiness determines to a large extent the measure of success children will achieve in their school career and in life. The more successful they are at school, the more worthwhile they feel in themselves, the more likely they are to be resilient and able to face up to the challenges they will face in life. Your role in helping you child prepare for school is not to teach him to read and write - it is above all to teach him to learn and to foster in him a love of learning - to help him to want to learn, which is infinitely more important than to be taught. School readiness through play tells you how to advance your child's language and learning skills through play; how to exploit her natural enthusiasm, curiosity and energy, and how to create opportunities for confidence building, social and emotional growth, the development of coordination, and problem-solving skills.
