You have enough to plan for—your digital teaching tool should lighten the load, not add to it. That’s exactly what the Pre-K Interactive Digital Teaching Tool (PreKITT) was designed to do.
Before We Begin:
Get Set for School uses the Pre-K Interactive Digital Teaching Tool. If you are using Readiness & Writing or Handwriting Without Tears, you’ll be using the Interactive Teaching Tool instead. If you’re not sure which you have, please check with your system administrator.
Ready to start your first interactive Pre-K lesson? Each page of the student editions has suggested lesson activities, songs, and videos. You'll find all of these here in the digital tool, along with a huge array of resources you can pull up at any time.
Getting Started:
Now… ready to explore PreKITT? You'll discover how a few simple clicks can take your lessons to the next level with music, animations, printables and much more!
- Log in to your dashboard.
- New to the digital platform? Access the Support Tab (use the top-left dropdown).
- Review the Teachers' Guides.
Both of our valuable Teacher’s Guides are accessible from the PreKITT home page. You'll find that the digital version matches the print version of the guide page for page. This is a powerful resource that will help you plan lessons from anywhere.
Accessing Digital Resources for Lessons
In Teacher’s Guide Vol. 2, check the Materials section of each lesson. When PreKITT Resources are listed, this indicates you have access to supportive digital content, such as songs, printables, animations, and more!
How to Find: From the Home Screen, click Teacher's Guide Vol. 2.

During Instruction—Play them directly for students:

Digital Student Activity Books
These books help bring your teacher-led lessons to life!
- Project full screen during large or small group instruction
- Use them to guide discussion and model activities
- My First School Book and My First Lowercase Book include many interactive resources such as digital formation tools, songs, and animations (see the Resource drawer on each page)

Digital Wood Pieces and Wet-Dry-Try
PreKITT brings your favorite hands-on manipulatives to life (well, digitally). Of course, these digital activities could never replace the hands-on tools in your classroom, but they are useful tools for demonstration and reinforcement of the skills they impart to students.
Tips for using these digital activities:
- Introduce letter formation during circle or small group
- Invite children to practice one by one at the interactive board
- Have other students air-write while watching their friend and saying the formation steps aloud
How to Find: From the Home Screen, select a digital activity to try.
