Books All Year: Integrating the Get Set for School Read-Aloud Library

When using the Get Set for School Read-Aloud Library Pack throughout the Pre-K Curriculum, refer to the teacher's guide for tips regarding how to effectively integrate books in your Pre-K classroom each time you read a book with children.

Music & Movement

Music, dance, and fingerplays reach children through the way they learn best—through active, engaging, and real-life experiences. Children take naturally to music and can better understand complex pre-writing and math concepts if they’re simply addressed through music, movement, and fun. Music is a cornerstone of the Get Set for School curriculum and a strong learning tool within the Pre-K Interactive Teaching Tool (PreKITT).
