Social Story for Kindergarten Students and Families
A social story is a simple, friendly story that helps young children understand what to expect at school, like meeting their teacher, following routines, and playing with classmates. It uses clear language and reassuring pictures or examples to explain what happens that first day of school, step by step, helping kids feel more confident, calm, and excited about starting kindergarten.
