As a parent of an incoming 1st grader, what should I focus on?Sophia Davis

What should I focus on during the school year to best prepare my kindergartener for 1st grade? She already knows what’s typically expected at her level, maybe even a bit more. I just want to be sure she’s as ready as possible.. Are there any common skills you notice incoming 1st graders often struggle with that I could work on with her? 🙏

This may sound funny but I'd say focus on the "life hacks" of school first... things like tying shoes, managing lunch trays without spilling everything, opening food packets, getting used to being away from screens.. things that will give her confidence with her peers. This was BIG for my son who was ahead of his class academically, but lacked confidence in other daily tasks...

Academically, just READ READ READ 😊
