Cedar Valley Publishing is a company started by Stacey Kannenburg, an educator, author, speaker and mom was looking for books and curriculum to prepare children for their educational careers.The result is Cedar Valley Publishing and the Let's Get Ready for Kindergarten series (which includes Let's Get Ready for First Grade) and the soon-to-be-released Spanish editions of both books.
The books are a little different because they're in an easy-to-read storybook type format rather than a workbook where children can practice saying letters, numbers, identifying shapes and colors and other early learning skills. According to the website they've won multiple awards and are in use in 350 schools around the country. To quote Kannenburg:
Thirty-eight states are discussing all day 4 year-old Kindergarten because kids are not coming to school prepared. But where are the public service announcements telling parents the 7 things they need to know for Kindergarten testing: the alphabet all mixed up, number to 10 all mixed up, basic shapes, colors, coins, counting objects to 10 and how far they can count to 100?If you have a child who could benefit from the educational boost these books provide then be sure to enter this week's giveaway because thanks to Cedar Valley Publishing I have a set of 2 books to give.

This would be perfect for us since I'm doing preschool with Lily this year. She'll be starting kindergarten next year.
My daughter starts kindergarten next week and I think she would get a kick out of this book!
I've got o0ne grandchild starting 1st grade and one starting Kindergarten. I've seen these books before and they look great.
I just wanted to tell you I finally had a chance to stop by; been meaning to ever since I heard your interview on Behind the Blog.
Which was great, by the way.
Loks like a great giveaway - I've never seen these books before. They lok terrific.
Great books. I was very nervous when I had to go to school for kindergarten, no preschooling beforehand. I know these books will be helpful for many. Count me in the giveaway. Thank you.
I have pre k to 12 grade ell students and could really use these books. pbrint@hotmail.com
One of the best ways to prepare children for school is to read to them. It would take much longer than a comment box to list all the benefits of reading to a child.
As a library aide, I'm always looking for interesting, cirriculuminspired (and free) books to add to our collection!

Yes - please sign me up!
This would be great for my nearly four-year-old grandson. This is a wonderful giveaway, but even better it is good to know that these books are available.
This would be great for my daughter! Thanks!
I may be dumb, but I don't understand what knowing the alphabet or numbers "all mixed up" means. Does it mean that you can recognize the letters or numbers when given random ones? Or something else? Sorry for being obtuse!
