First Grade Readiness (Second Edition - new in 2016!), edited by Nancy Blanning.
Experienced teachers, doctors, and therapists give guidance on the nature and needs of the child between six and seven, how to observe children for signs of school readiness, and creating and healthy transition from kindergarten to the grades.

In a Nutshell: Dialogues with Parents at Acorn Hill, a Waldorf Kindergarten, by Nancy Foster
We all need thoughts and ideals that might guide parents in understanding their children’s school experiences, or in making decisions at home. Nancy Foster, in her long years as a Waldorf early childhood teacher, has had many occasions to answer them — with warmth and wit.
The Creative Word: The Young Child's Experience of Language & Stories, by Daniel Udo de Haes
In this small book, we embark on a fascinating journey into the consciousness of the very young child. Toddlers need our understanding and support as they make the great transition from wordless communion with the world to encountering people and things through human language. Out of his wisdom and experience, Dutch educator Daniel Udo de Haes brings guidance in how to gently and sensitively help children through this transition.
Tell Me a Story: Stories from the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America, edited by Louise deForest; illustrations by GMWS Student Deborah Grieder and Jo Valens
Wherever there are children, the cry of “Tell me a story. . .” is heard, and in Waldorf education, storytelling is an integral part of each day. Stories connect us to one another, give us a sense of who we are, and can help to guide us into the future. This new collection of over 80 stories from the members and friends of the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America is full of treasures for all ages and all occasions. Whether you are a teacher, parent, grandparent, caregiver, or just a lover of good stories, you will find inspiration and nourishment in these pages.
Merrily We Sing: Original Songs in the Mood of the Fifth, by Ilian Willwerth
Dance around the Maypole -- play clapping and counting games -- celebrate a lost tooth -- sing prayers and lullabies -- all with the harmonious, healing music of the mood of the fifth.
