Transitioning Into Primary School: Your Passport to Success by Carol D. Minnis. Entering Primary School is a significant step for a five or six-year-old. Children often feel fearful and anxious about going to a new school and a new environment. There will be many more students, and teachers. Students will take more subjects than when they were in preschool. The objective of this book is to help the grade 1 student settle as quickly as possible so he can be about the business of learning. Every school age child in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, from Inagua in the South to Grand Bahamas in the North, will benefit from using this book.
