Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback

B Incorrect. Having an older child tell the preschooler about the schedule would not be as effective as if the child experienced it.
C Incorrect. Reviewing the expectations and rules of school may increase anxiety.
D Incorrect. Providing a child with a book would not effectively prepare a preschooler for the first day of classes.
