GET SET FOR SCHOOL

by Learning Without Tears

The Genuis of Making Pre-K Learning and Teaching Simple

Get Set for School is a complete, research-proven, and expert-backed Pre-K program. Get Set for School combines purposeful play with multisensory experiences, providing teachers with a hands-on, research-based Pre-K program and students with an engaging, developmentally appropriate introduction to school. With multimodality instruction and a unique approach to early learning, Get Set for School follows a developmental progression with scaffolded lessons, uses a friendly voice, and excites learners with skill=building lessons and activities.

Language & Literacy

We use hands-on activities, music, and play to teach children essential early literacy skills. Our play-cased approach fosters language development through listening-retelling, answering questions, and narrating different types of fiction and non-fiction literature

Numbers & Math

Children Play with manipulatives and real objects as they test their ideas while learning counting, comparisons, spatial, awareness, patterning, sequencing, matching, sorting, problem-solving, and even Pre-K geometry skills

Readiness & Writing

Through music. Movement, and multisensory manipulatives children learn all the core readiness skills including crayon grip, letter and number recognition, and letter formation

Physical Development

By using fingerplays, singing, dancing, coloring, and tracing letters and numbers. Children develop handedness, fine and gross motor skills, body awareness, and attach meaning to visual information.

Social-Emotional

Learning Children need to feel safe and accepted in the classroom. Activities and literature focused on self-concept, self-regulation, personal initiative, empathy, and relationships with adults and peers will develop these social-emotional skills.

Science & Social

Studies spark the imagination of your young explorers as they learn about that world around them. Science and Social Studies lessons cover self-care, community, basic geography, plants, animals, and caring for the environment
