Kindergarten Readiness Newsletter from Milestones Matter

As summer unfolds, many of us start thinking about the exciting next steps for our little ones, especially those nearing kindergarten age. At Milestones Matter Therapy, we believe that readiness for kindergarten goes far beyond just ABCs and 123s. It's truly about building strong foundational language, social-emotional, and communication skills. These are the skills that empower children to thrive in all aspects of school life – from making friends to understanding instructions and developing a love for learning.

To support you on this journey, we've created a special Kindergarten Readiness Newsletter, which we're delighted to share with you today.

In this newsletter, you'll find:

•  Practical, everyday ways to build essential skills through play, conversation, and routines.

• Simple "Try This" activities for spatial concepts, sorting, sequencing daily events, and phonological awareness.

• Engaging ideas for fostering social language and conversation skills, crucial for navigating a classroom environment.

• Recommended books that support kindergarten readiness in fun and meaningful ways.

Our goal is to provide you with insights and easy-to-implement strategies that make preparing for kindergarten a joyful and natural part of your family's routine. You don't need special materials – just everyday moments filled with love, play, and talk.
