What’s in the Kit? Good Question! School Readiness Kits have everything that families need to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond. Bilingual Family Guide in English and Spanish with research-based milestones and activities Three Read-Together Books in English and Spanish to encourage family read-alouds My First Journal —a journal for self-expression through drawing and writing Access to digital songs —catchy renditions of children’s classics (12 in English and 12 in Spanish) Crayon pack for doodling and writing Safety scissors to practice fine-motor skills A bright yellow tote for learning at home or on the go! The City of Phoenix Birth to Five program introduces the School Readiness Kits as part of its transition plan at 30 months. Our family advocates will distribute the kit during a home visit and incorporate materials to plan experiences around the parents’ interests and child’s abilities. Some of the families do not have books in the home, and after receiving the kit the families can begin to create their own library so that children have access to literature daily. —Josie Vargas, City of Phoenix Early Head Start “
