My daughter is not in day care or pre-school and is 3 1/2. I was looking for something to gauge her skills and those needed for kindergarten. The checklists in the book are great and I have a sense of the skills we can be working on.

This a is a great resource and quick read for busy parents who are concerned about preparing their child for school life. The writers have taken a simple format to clearly illustrate their points without getting long winded. It provides a variety of checklists from basic knowledge of adjectives to making sure the child knows his or her name, address, etc. There are several sections with tips on how to build your child's self confidence to help him or her be more secure with the transition to school.

While the book is short, it gives some of the same advice as much lengthier titles. It even provides some ideas in what to look for in clothing etc for those first few weeks of school. It helped me identify several areas that I could introduce to my kids to help get ready for school.
