4. Review The Necessary Skills for Kindergarten

Another thing you should do is review the skills that your child needs to be prepared for kindergarten. Spend each day going over the capital and lowercase letters, and have the child count from 1-20 throughout the summer so that he'll remember it when the teachers discuss it in class. You can use online printables, workbooks, and even markers and construction paper as part of your home lessons. Also, teach him how to dress himself and undress. Show him the correct way to hold his pencil, and have him practice catching a ball.

2. Reduce Nap Times

Nap times are important for toddlers, but once your child starts kindergarten, it will be important to decrease the naptime routine during the late summer months.

This is because most kindergarten teachers don’t include naptime as part of the school routine. You want your child to get used to enduring a long day without being able to take a nap.
