The night before something new at school is a good night for a story about it. These themes run from the first day at daycare to moving up to a new school at eleven, with show and tell, class trips, big tests and speaking in front of the class in between.

Your child walks through the day in the story first: the new room, the teacher, the moment it gets easier. Pick the theme that matches what is coming up this week, and add the teacher or a classmate as a character.
