Before Big School: A Practical Parent's Guide to School Readiness
How will I ensure my child is school ready? After the birth of her son, this was the question that inspired Danielle, a primary school teacher, to bring Before Big School to life. Drawing on her experience and knowledge from the early childhood classroom a practical parent's guide for school readiness was created.
Before Big School explores the academic, emotional, and social aspects of school readiness and is filled with practical ideas and activities which can be embedded into your day. With a focus on incidental, meaningful and play-based learning experiences, Before Big School aims to assist parents in preparing their children for school without the use of structured learning- no flashcards or worksheets required.

Such a great little book!
Would highly recommend it to anyone with kids in the year before starting school. I wish I had read it earlier instead of the month before kindergarten starts, but I still plan to keep up with the advice given to support my daughter's learning and growth throughout the year.
Also, to have advice relevant to the Australian school system is also so important, as other school readiness books at our local library had information irrelevant to Aussie schooling.
So very thankful to have found this book.

I went to University with Danielle! We used to do our early childhood presentations together with another beautiful girl, now teacher. I bought the book to support a fellow teacher. I also bought the book as I have a son starting school next year. I have been a stay at home Mum and not in the classroom the last few years. I wanted to double check (late I know) that I had been doing all I could to prepare him for the school world.
It was a fabulous book!!!
