From the Publisher
Lunchbox, bus, teacher, sharing, crayons, swing, blocks, proud, smile…introduce your little ones to the words they'll encounter when they start kindergarten.
A range of different scenes and objects, from getting dressed and eating breakfast with the family to different activities at kindergarten!
Unveiling the book
This delightful board book follows an adorable little fellow as he prepares for his first day in kindergarten. It is a wonderful introduction to the words and scenes that he may encounter as he experiences this new chapter in his life.
Yes, the book does include 100 words printed on labels that address scenarios such as getting dressed, eating breakfast with his family, and various activities that await him at his kindergarten destination. Some words are wisely chosen to include a range of abstract terms such as happy, kindness and family. The words, along with the playful, kid-friendly illustrations, will be a wonderful tool to teach and expand sight vocabulary and engage kids in the world around them.
"My Kindergarten in 100 Words" is both educational and a fun way to learn. It would be great to copy the words onto paper labels and stick them on objects around your home. That endeavour will certainly reinforce reading skills. Kids will become familiar with the spelling of the words and gain the ability to read them with practise. Learning sight vocabulary is a wonderful skill to take along with them to kindergarten. You will be surprised how adept kids become at this skill and how thrilled that become because they can now identify the words. When I taught kindergarten, my little ones would come in the first day, find their desk and say, "So can I read today?" The very idea of being able to interpret those squiggles on a page is very, very exiting to them.
Kids will benefit from reading this book over and over again, pointing out the words, and saying them out loud. The book also touches on the concepts of identifying different emotions and quiet, focused techniques of mindfulness. It is highly recommended.

About the illustrator
Sophie Beer (née Blackhall-Cain) is an award-winning illustrator/author living in Brisbane, Australia.
She completed a dual degree in Law and Creative Industries with distinction at Queensland University of Technology but found the whole law thing unutterably dull and now works primarily in children's and editorial illustration. She is perpetually astounded that she has somehow hoodwinked people into paying her money to draw all day long. Revelling in colour, shape and texture, she lives by one simple rule: art should never be boring.
