Kidaluma Starter Activity Pack

Five printable sheets to use alongside the Noor & Azim books — name tracing, letter sounds, story retelling, colouring and a kindergarten-ready checklist. Print on plain A4 or Letter paper; a grown-up should set it up.

Kindergarten-ready checklist

Tick a box together each time your child can do one of these. There's no rush — this is a conversation starter, not a test.

  • Can clap the parts (syllables) in their name
  • Can hold a pencil or crayon comfortably
  • Can put on shoes and a coat with a little help
  • Can ask a grown-up for help using words
  • Can listen to a short story to the end
  • Knows how to wash hands and tidy up after play
  • Can take turns with one other child
