Language development-School literacy

As your child gets ready to enter kindergarten does she have her school literacy in tact? You may be asking what is school literacy? Every space has a set of vocabulary and behavior that is appropriated for that space lets look at a few things :

• Is your child able to self regulate
• Is your child able to wait her turn
• Is your child able to share
• Can your child follow a 4 step direction
• Does your child understand when you say stop 
• Is your child able to self-sooth
• Is your child able to take turns 
• Is your child able to clean up when asked to 
• Is your child able to cooperate with adults/children

These are just a few skills that your child should have before they enter a formal school setting.
