School Readiness

Get your child ready to go back to school after the holiday break!

This is a group for kids who have started school but would benefit from a bit of support to really thrive in a school setting.

In this group we will:

• Outline what good listening looks like and practice listening skills
• Practice asking for help from teacher/adult
• Practice what to do if they finish a task early
• Discuss morning routines and make a routine chart to assist them with organisation in the mornings
• Discuss checklists for throughout the day (like what should be in their bag)
• Practice lining up for class and putting up their hand to answer questions
• Practice tidying desk up after an activity and cleaning out their desk-tray
• Discuss and practice good habits (e.g. writing homework into diary)
• Practice getting dressed in their school uniform
• Practice following multi-level instructions and coming up with ideas for how to manage lots of information overload

Come along and get a head start on practising school routines before school starts up again!
