DAY 1
I'm Getting Ready!
Follow the day
Use the activities in your workbook in the order they appear. Return here when you want to see what is underneath the practice.
How to support
Give your child time to try. Offer only the piece of help that is needed, then let them continue when they can.
If it feels hard
Pause, make the step smaller, or come back later. Readiness grows through safe practice—not pressure.

The skills behind Day 1
The finished activity is only what you can see. These are some of the skills helping your child access it when they are asked to use it.
What it looks like
Tracing school-supply paths, matching pictures, copying movements, and practicing a backpack routine.
What your child is really practicing
What you might notice
- Does your child look across the whole page before choosing?
- Can they remember the next movement or backpack step?
- When help is naturally needed, how do they let you know?
These are invitations to notice—not a test, score, or developmental checklist.

Workbook tools
01Using scissor pages
Copy cut-apart pages before your child uses them so you can practice again.
02Helping without taking over
Try: “Do you want me to say it again or show you again?” Then give space to try.
03What progress can look like
Starting, staying with it, asking for help, and trying again all count.
