The Kindergarten Bridge — 4 Summer Weeks of Big-Kid Practice
Will the first day of kindergarten feel like a cliff — or a bridge?
Four summer weeks, 15 playful minutes a day, that practice what the first weeks of school actually ask of a child: a name that flows, scissors that obey, directions that stick, a snack opened solo, and feelings that have names. Not a test. Not a race. A gentle ramp to the first bell — already planned, page by page, so you never have to invent it at 9pm.
What's inside
- 4 Bridge Weeks · 40 pages per format — ages 4-5, 15 minutes a day, 4 days a week: summer-sized on purpose
- Day 1 — Name & Letters at Work — name practice that grows up, plus the letters of YOUR child's own name
- Day 2 — Numbers in Real Life — touch-count real objects, count on, write teen numbers by ear

- Day 4 — Big Kid Day — listening games, big-kid missions, a calm-down toolkit and first-day feelings pages
- Play Day — one game per week, optional — four days of lessons + one game of the week: a color-by-code built from your child's own name, a dot-to-dot to 12, a pencil-control maze, and a teen-number dot-to-dot that builds the school
- A weekly Bridge Plan with Teacher Talk — what to say, what to ask, what "done" looks like — plus a 2-page parent guide
- A keepsake ending — two dated self-portraits and the "My Kindergarten Interview" page
