In this new addition to the Knowledge Essentials series, Kindergarten Success shows you how to enrich your child's classroom learning and take an active role in your kindergarten’s education by exploring:

• What your child is learning at school and the educational standards to expect in math, language arts, science, and social studies—as well as the developmental skills expected of your kindergartener
• Your child's learning style—visual, auditory, or kinesthetic— and how it affects the way your child learns and processes information
• Hundreds of easy-to-do activities designed to help your child meet specific learning requirements
• Environmental learning sections that identify learning opportunities in the everyday world
• Methods and checklists to assess your child's progress
• The developmental and social changes expected of your kindergartener as well as information on how to determine readiness to move up to the first grade
• Recommendations of age-appropriate books and software that will enhance learning
