My son went into public preschool for help with his speech delay, and he had no qualms leaving me behind. The second day when I dropped him off, his teachers had to gently remind him to say goodbye to me. Not that I’m still bitter or anything. Whether you’re a stay-at-home parent or work outside the home, this change, while it may be welcome, is also bittersweet. You are no longer the sole authority figure in your child’s life. They’re going to be around other kids and, yes, they will pick up bad habits from them. If it’s any consolation, your child will also pass along some of their own. One way to help prepare for this is to have some read-aloud books ready to go to read. It gives them an idea of what they can expect from the classmates and teachers, how the routine will work, etc. However, you also want it to be fun. It’s still important to encourage a love of reading and being read to. If you’re looking for some good options, well you’re in luck, because we have your back. Here are some of the books about starting school that you can pick up to prepare your-soon-to-be scholar before school starts in the fall.
