Parent and Teacher guide
Going to school for the first time is a big deal for both parents and children. Preparing a child well for this important event in his/her life is of vital importance. The best way to do this is through a story. “The First Day of School” shows the mixed feeling that Raneem has about going to school. On the one hand she is excited but on the other she is scared. Her worst fear and anxiety stem from fear of separation from her mother. This story acknowledges these feelings and at the same time shows all the fun activities in school. At the end of the story the child is reassured that the mother will return to pick her/him up.

قصة “اول يوم مدرسة” للكاتبة تغريد عارف النجار قصة ملائمة لأي طفل من عمر ٢-٦ سنوات او اكثر ممن يواجهون صعوبة الانفصال عن الام و البيت؛ و حتى الاطفال الذين يحبون المدرسة. القصة مكتوبة بنص سهل جدا و بلغة الاطفال حتى ان الكاتبة تذكر تردد “رنيم” في كتابة الأحرف ببطئ و تكرارها. احببت كثيرا كيف تتحجج رنيم لوالدتها لتبقى في البيت فهي قصة مكتوبة للصغار بلغة يعرفونها و يفهمون مقاصدها. احببت رسوم القصة كثيرا فطريقة همس “رنيم” في إذن “ماما” و أخبارها بما يرد في بالها هو فعلا ما تفعله ابنتي معي حين تريد الإفصاح عن شعور يقلقها او شي يثير خجلها! القصة تخبى مفاجاءة في اخرها للأطفال و هي مفضلة لهم! #alsalwabooks
