This illustrated manual was written with the expectation of increasing parent involvement in children's early learning development. Concrete examples of things to do are offered in five basic areas in which parents can help prepare their preschool child for school: health care, language development, perceptual-motor development, social development, and quantitative concept development. The booklet emphasizes that when parents convey to their children a positive attitude towards school there is greater likelihood that the children will be successful in the educative process.
