Description: These wipe-clean Schoolies resources are just the things to help children get ready for school. On both sides of the double-sided Activity Flash Cards are words, numbers, letters or shapes for little learners to trace round, an ideal exercise for promoting fine motor skills. Let’s Get Ready for School is packed with fun activities to help prepare children for school. Both come with their own wipe-clean pen, and the pages wipe clean too, so that all the activities can be repeated and enjoyed many times over.

What the testers said: “Children 4+ years thoroughly engaged and keen. The variety of pages in the book allowed children to choose an activity according to their confidence level. Great illustrations and covered a wide range of areas of learning – great talking points! The slot for a pen is a great idea! I was initially worried about children understanding that some books we can write on and some we can’t, but over time they understood.”

Score: 80.7%
What the testers said: “Both books we used had lots of helpful ideas for a good range of different activities to meet the seven areas for the EYFS. A brilliant set of books for home, child minders or smaller settings with newly qualified staff. We like them so much we have purchased the rest of the books in the range. It is bang up to date with the revised EYFS.”
