2024 … New school?
Is 2024 a New school Year?
Start peparing now!
Wow! Here we go for a new year at school!
Preparing a child for transition to start school (or new school / new grade) takes thoughtful planning and thinking ahead.
Using Visuals
Use lots of visuals such as the “I’m Going To School” booklet. This printed booklet can be filled in and individualised for each student, and gives specific information about the new environment.
- Gather the informatio
- Fill it in together with the child.
- Read though the completed pages with the child and review it often.
It is important for the child to see what is going to be the SAME and what is going to be DIFFERENT.
This workbook will get the child prepared with the next year’s environment and to minimise anxiety.
Teach peers about what to expect and strategies to use.
