Moving into big school is a big deal! Children have to learn a variety of new skills very quickly as they move into their new cohort and school structure.
In kindy, children often need to become proficient quickly with news-telling, underlying skills for reading and spelling (including phonological awareness), and asking and answering questions.
The Macquarie University Speech and Hearing Clinic is offering a school holiday group designed to nurture the communication skills of children transitioning to kindergarten.
