The children learn about the classroom and the fun activities planned for the day with children of diverse backgrounds.The 32-page illustrated book addresses separation anxiety, meeting and interacting with peers and adults, displaying appropriate behavior, and adapting to new environments through positive reinforcement. Children learn the social and communitive skills needed to succeed in a controlled learning environment.Each book in the "Sophia and Alex" series draws on storylines based on common events found in the life of an early learner. Children relate to the multi-cultural characters and learn the art of acceptance and inclusion in school and home settings. Through the use of dual text, the child can simultaneously learn to read in Swedish or English while better expressing themselves in each.
