Description

Much thought must go into preparing children for the transition from home or a child care environment to school. Transition experiences need to consider the whole child, including children's cognitive, socio-emotional, and physical readiness for learning. It is equally vital to explore ways to involve families, who are children's first and most important teachers. Research highlights the importance of family involvement in children's school success (Epstein, Coates, Salinas, Saunders, & Simon, 1997; Ramey & Ramey, 1999; Snow, Burns, & Griffin, 1998). Most people would agree that families have the greatest knowledge of their children's strengths and challenges. When teachers are able to converse with families, they can collect detailed information about their incoming students so that they are better able to meet the children's needs.
