Rózsa Érsek: First Day at School

As experience has proven it, the transition from kindergarten to school poses several problems to the parents, the teachers and to the children in the first place. The first-graders should enter a whole new world: changed environment, new mates, unknown adults, practices so different from the kindergarten routines along with major duties to do.

Being an active teacher, the author based her book on her own experience. The fascinating illustrations describe the most important moments of starting school, which provide a good chance for the parents and their children to prepare for this significant event with discussion. Moreover, while talking these topics over, the children?s fluency and vocabulary develop, as well.

The book playfully helps children to start school with joy and pleasure instead of fear and agony, which is one of the key criteria of successful learning.
