Preparing your child for Year R
Your child will have lots of new activities and routines to get used to when they start school. There
are some things they’ll need to do more independently than they might have before.
New skills take time to learn, so it’s good to introduce them gradually as part of your daily routine. Practising at home will help your child move into school more easily and with confidence.
