Hi All,

I am new to the country and just been baffled by the 4+ process. But we would like to prepare my DD and wondered if anyone know about books that would help to prepare her. I know that there was a few mention about some book here but couldnt find the title. Thank you

You don't need any prep books and I don't think any exist besides one a tutor on here wrote that she's marketing to parents. For kids this age just:

  1. Send them to a high quality preschool.
  2. At home, read lots of different stories and discuss vocabulary and the plot to work on comprehension and understanding
  3. Work on shapes, numbers / counting
  4. Do activities that help with gross and fine motor skills
  5. Do puzzles
  6. Talk to them a lot and spend time together

You are probably already doing most of this already

Thank you so much, very helpful and reassuring.I saw a mention of a book and thought might give it a go. We do a lot of this already.
