Keys to Kindergarten Readiness: Activities for Preschoolers, Worksheets, Learning Games, Learn How to Read, Developmental Milestones, Sight Words, Positive Parenting, Christian Mom, Life Skills
Hey Mama! Welcome to Keys to Kindergarten Readiness I’m Shannon Ali. Daughter of the King, Wife, mom of 3 littles, teacher, speech-language pathologist, and kindergarten readiness expert! I remember what it felt like during the Covid lockdown in 2020, my husband was still working, and I was home by myself with our 3 year old, 1 year old, and a newborn baby girl all while still teaching school online. Needless to say, it was a crazy time, but I am thankful for God’s grace and lessons during that time. I felt like I wasn’t fulfilling my role as a mom. I didn’t know how to nurture my children’s gifts. I was putting academics in front of God’s Word, and we didn’t have a sense of discipline, organization, or family in our home even though it looked perfect from the outside. Then, I went into my Bible & back to my college books. I taught my then 3 year old how to read with quick easy lessons, and he tested off the charts for acceptance into the top school and preschool gifted program. I taught my kids about several black inventors to teach them perseverance and to build their self-esteem. I taught them life skills to help me around the house and to help them become more independent and confident. Most importantly, I grew deeper in my personal faith, and I was able to start planting seeds in my children’s hearts and teach them so much about God. Solutions I’m here to teach you everything I know about faith, family, and fun learning. In this podcast, you will learn: -Ways to help your child build a personal relationship with Jesus -Tips for positive parenting, life skills, and building a stronger family -Engaging on-the-go strategies for teaching your child everything they need to know to be ready for kindergarten even when you’re busy Learn: www.keystokindergartenreadiness.com Connect: keystokindergartenreadiness@gmail.com Community: https://bit.ly/3K8RTP3 Facebook: Keys to Kindergarten Readiness

Since I’ve had kids, I just don’t sleep that well. They sleep all night, but I usually wake up around 2AM or 4AM and struggle to go back to sleep, but I’ve noticed that even when I get decent sleep, I still feel tired. Some of our kids are the same way. You may not realize that when they are misbehaving, they are actually communicating that they need rest in a particular area. Here is a hint-It’s not just resting in the form of sleeping. There are actually 7 different types of rest that your child needs to be ready for kindergarten. You’ll definitely want to listen to this one for your child AND for you! Let’s Dig In!

You’ve probably heard the statistic that children who are read to are exposed to over a million more words than children who are not read to regularly. A member of Ohio State's Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy is quoted as saying, "Kids who hear more vocabulary words are going to be better prepared to see those words in print when they enter school. They are likely to pick up reading skills more quickly and easily." I know you don’t have much time and neither do I so, I am going to give you 3 strategies of things to STOP doing, so you have more time to read to your child. It's time to get ready for kindergarten.
