The first day of school is a big moment! A new grade, a new classroom, and a new teacher! And while some kids are eager to reunite with friends and dive into learning, others can feel anxious about fitting in and finding their way.
Books are one of the best ways to prepare your child for what’s to come and to soothe any worries about the new school year, because they put your child in the shoes of the character who encounters the same worries or situations your child might.
In the end, those characters usually learn an important lesson and persevere. Think of it as a “test run” for your child: When your kid sees how book characters thrive in back-to-school situations they’re unsure of, they’ll know how to as well.
Here are some fantastic reads that can help your young learner ease back into the routine of school and navigate any jitters with confidence and smiles!
