When children are ready and eager to learn, they are open to absorbing, questioning and processing all the information that is around them. Learning skills include: being attentive, listening in a group, following simple directions, asking questions, staying with a task, and exploring.
This is #5 of the series of short programs that helps parents and caregivers to understand how they can use everyday interactions and materials found in the home to help their child prepare for kindergarten. Each video explores a different domain of early learning and demonstrates ways in which parents/caregivers can foster skill development in each area. The final video provides guidance for parents and caregivers who have concerns about their child's level of "readiness" for school.
