Going to School

A landmark book for parents on why, when and how to prepare children for going to school and how to support them in the critical early school years. The book is based on the Rameys' twenty years of research, including their just-completed National Transition-to-School Demonstration Project, which involved over 8,000 children from kindergarten through third grade. All of this research clearly proves the long-term importance of getting off to a good start in school. Using all their findings, the authors show the many ways parents can have a lasting impact on their child's success.

This comprehensive guide covers everything parents need to know, including making friends, building good work habits, parent involvement in school, respect for authority, monitoring educational quality, attention and learning disorders, tutoring, and discipline.
