Best Books to Get Ready for Kindergarten – Okayest Moms

Neither of my kids have ever had anxiety around school, so I never would have expected to need a list of the best books to get ready for Kindergarten. They both started preschool at 2, and neither ever had any trepidation about entering the classroom. They just ran on in and never looked back. At first, I was slightly offended they wouldn’t miss their mom, but as the weeks went on and a few classmates were still crying at drop off, I realized what a gift it was.

So imagine my surprise when Nolan told me he didn’t want to go to Kindergarten! I know he will love it once he’s there, but it will be a big change for him. To help ease his worries, I’ve rounded up the best books to get ready for Kindergarten.

Using books to ease kindergarten anxiety

Maybe it’s the teacher in me, but I think books are the best way to address behaviors in children. It’s always easier to talk about a problem or worry that someone else is having and give advice to a book character than it is to think about yourself in that position.

Stories give kids a chance to explore a problem and find possible solutions that would work for them without feeling like they are on the spot. There is something comforting in the fact that other people are experiencing the same things we are, even if it’s a fictional character. It give you a chance to try on different solutions to a problem without having to experience any of the consequences first hand.

It is also a great way to start a conversation so that your child feels more open to talking about their feelings or asking questions.

Books to Prepare Kids for Kindergarten

If it is almost time for your little one to start kindergarten, do not fear! I have a list full of engaging and entertaining books to help prepare them for their first day! While many parents stress that their children need to be reading before they begin kindergarten, this is simply not true. 

Instead, many teachers are hoping their students will be able to recognize letters, write their name, count to ten, rhyme, know their colors, etc. Kindergarten preparedness extends past academics, however, and children who can get dressed independently, listen without interrupting, separate from parents easily, wash their hands, take turns, and share will feel successful from the start.

Along with those pencils and first-day-of-school clothes, be sure to pick up a few of these standout stories to prepare your soon to be kindergartener for an exceptional start to the year.

FIRST DAY JITTERS and BOOKS TO PREPARE KIDS FOR SCHOOL.

 

Germs vs. Soap by Didi Dragon; illustrated by Hannah Robinett, 2020

We are all familiar with how dangerous germs are. Teachers are constantly trying to enforce healthy habits such as handwashing and this book provides a humorous, but effective way to get the message across.

A group of anthropomorphic germs try their best to escape their dreaded enemy, Soap, but their efforts are futile when children wash their hands for at least twenty seconds and scrub in between their fingers and on the backs of their hands. Instructing children on the right way to wash their hands is an important lesson that needs to be reviewed often, but will be a lot more fun with this entertaining story.

Sick Simon by Dan Krull, 2015

They praise him for his ability to spread his illness and infect his classmates. Simon is horrified and immediately begins washing his hands, using tissues, covering his mouth, and resting until the germs are gone.

The exaggerated illustrations create a gross-out factor that kids can’t resist and the lesson of healthy habits to prevent the spread of sickness is really impactful. My kids cannot get enough of this engaging book and beg to hear it again and again. They especially love searching for the germs that are hidden on every page.

There are so many things to love about this book. It effortlessly introduces school as a friendly environment and addresses common fears such as knowing how to tie shoes and making friends. The class takes a tour of the school giving readers an inside peek of the different rooms their school has. Best of all is the idea of the Kindness Pledge.

There are many books that cover this subject, but Be Kind stands apart.

It touches upon both the individual and global impact of kindness and while it may not always be easy to be kind, each small act is meaningful.

The kid goes to the garden. Books for the adaptation of the child and his parents

Adaptation to kindergarten is now necessarily told at parent-teacher meetings before the first of September. Everyone is included in the process: psychologists, educators and parents.

A small child experiences real great stress, because he has to change his usual home environment for a new environment. But parents, whose experiences are passed on to children, are no less worried.

Experts advise adults to “breathe in and out” and let go of the situation a little to begin with. In most cases, fears are dictated by the unknown, which is quite realistic to overcome with the help of books that explain, encourage and support.

All about kindergarten for parents

What does a child need in kindergarten, what is his daily routine, how is interaction with teachers built? All these questions are asked by parents who first encounter an educational institution. The books “The child goes to kindergarten” by the publishing house “Sphere” and “It's time to go to kindergarten. Self-instruction manual for parents” published by “Phoenix” will help to dispel fears and doubts, and at the same time will give detailed answers to the questions: how to choose a kindergarten? what professionals work in the garden? what will the child be taught?

It would seem that the documents for the garden have been submitted, organizational issues have been resolved, but the excitement remains. What if the child in the garden does not like it? Your own negative experiences in childhood can also increase anxiety. Then you should turn to books written by experienced psychologists, especially for parents. The book “Adaptation to kindergarten without problems. A Practical Guide for Parents” contains a step-by-step plan of action and an analysis of the mistakes that parents often make during the adaptation period.

About the book "I don't want to go to kindergarten"

It is believed that adaptation to the kindergarten lasts from two weeks to one and a half months. But sometimes it takes even longer to get used to, and the family is faced with the "bad" behavior of the baby. What to do if picking up a child from kindergarten is not possible? The book “I don’t want to go to kindergarten” is just for such parents. The publication comes with a set of five psychological fairy tales, a walking game and an amulet toy that you can take with you to kindergarten.

Stories and tales about the kindergarten for children

When a child is read a book, he identifies himself with a hero, whether it is a shy bunny or the same kid who loves mom and dad. Fiction for children has a therapeutic effect, because they describe feelings exactly like him and situations that are so similar to those that happen to him!

So, a boy named Vovka, the hero of the book by Tatyana Rabtseva, is very afraid to go to kindergarten. How will he be alone without his mother? And it also seems to Vovka that the garden is "grandfather's", which means that he will have to sit with his grandfathers all day. But everything turns out differently. At first, Vovka is really a little embarrassed and scared, but curiosity is stronger, and soon Vovka finds friends, and the kindergarten becomes a place of real adventure!

“Fox Masya goes to kindergarten” - another help book for preparing a child was written by a practicing fairy tale therapist Irina Terentyeva. Here are collected fascinating tales about the fox Masya and his friends, as well as interesting tasks that the baby can complete on his own or with the help of his parents.

Illustrations for the books "Vovka Goes to Kindergarten" and "Masya the Fox Goes to Kindergarten"

By the way, books with tasks and stickers, coloring pages dedicated to the theme of kindergarten, interaction with friends, rules of conduct and daily routine are a great addition to fairy tales. One of these "Let's go to kindergarten!" about Teddy bear with stickers and dominoes.

When to read kindergarten books to your child? The earlier the better. After all, the main task of such books is the gradual preparation of the baby for a new regime, new friends and new activities. But the most important thing, which psychologists and teachers tirelessly repeat, is the calmness and goodwill of parents.

Kindergarten books | mom bore

I collected this selection back in 2020 for little Artem. Artyom went to kindergarten in this and many of the books in the collection were read and became favorites. If your kid has already gone to kindergarten, and there are no books on this topic in your library, I highly recommend it. All people love literature related to their lives, kids are no exception.

"Vovka goes to kindergarten" my-shop, labyrinth. ❤❤❤ A story about the adaptation of a child in kindergarten. I'm already rather fed up with primitive plots about typical situations, this book made me happy! High quality text, hard 5+. Plot: initially, Vovka did not want to go to kindergarten, but day after day he plunged into the thick of kindergarten life (faced problems, found solutions, caught positive moments), and in the end it turned out to be very exciting. For a two-year-old, the plot is complicated. In my opinion, the book will be especially good for children 3.5-4 years old . Difficult moments for two-year-olds: humor with a change in the words "kindergarten" - "grandfather's garden", "Olga Kapitonovna" - "Olga Pitonovna" show hidden text

“Rules of conduct. Let's go to kindergarten» my-shop, labirint  ❤❤❤ 1.5-2+ An aesthetic picture book about the daily routine in kindergarten. A story about a boy's first visit to kindergarten. The book is European, so the illustrations have the specifics of foreign kindergartens. For example, in the hallway there are not booths, but shelves for things, during breakfast there are different foods on the tables (in Europe, everyone brings food himself and, of course, everyone has different options. Mostly sandwiches), in the bathroom, children have toothbrushes , on the playground there are unsafe slides and swings. show hidden text

Kindergarten on Wheels my-shop. ❤❤❤ 2.5+ The story of how a kid excavator meets a kindergarten where all the characters are vehicles. Highly recommend for little transport lovers. The book tells about the first communicative experience of the baby, about failures and successes. Fears and failures are served softly. There are many typical situations: for the first time we go into a group, for the first time we meet a classmate, we have breakfast, we strengthen friendship with an old acquaintance, we communicate with a new nerd, we communicate with a new hooligan. show hidden text

Books about kindergarten (anti-recommendation)

Connie goes to kindergarten my-shop. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 The book is beautiful, but completely European. Almost every turn is not consistent with domestic realities. Most of the book mothers are with children in the kindergarten group. We don't allow it. Already the first day of kindergarten begins with non-standard activities - gluing a photo of a child on a stand in a group, building barricades of chairs and blankets. And then Connie missed her mother and ran up to her)). Breakfast is organized in a European way - the children each bring their own food from home in lunchboxes. show hidden text

"I'm going to kindergarten!" my-shop, labyrinth. ❤ Book from the Fairytale Therapy series my-shop, labyrinth. It contains 10 stories working through various adaptation problems in kindergarten. It is important to know that therapeutic methods must be used with caution. It is foolish to drink painkillers for prevention. With therapeutic fairy tales, a similar story, if they are read in the absence of problems, then they may appear. show hidden text

Raccoon goes to kindergarten my-shop, labyrinth. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻. The book is a disappointment. A typical story of how a little raccoon first went to kindergarten. Suitable for children who are negatively opposed to kindergarten. A book from the category of therapeutic fairy tales. Many chapters are, in my opinion, a clumsy study of problem situations. The author lacks delicacy in the presentation of the material. For children who are positive about kindergarten, the book can cause problems. I would advise her to read pointwise, working through the existing problems or not to read at all. show hidden text
