The wisdom of Pre-K

Its a sound investment!

"State leaders who have invested in high-quality pre-k for 3- and 4-year-olds understand that it will yield significant returns for their state. States that choose not to invest may find that their children and their economies are not prepared to compete."




The music, literacy, and language connection
Literally speaking--it's music. Repetition, rhyme, and exposure to a variety of sounds are defining qualities of both music and early language learning. Research also shows correlations between music ability and reading comprehension test scores.This blog is dedicated to helping advocates, teachers, school administrators, and parents explain the importance of having music programs, like ABC Music & Me, in their schools.

Think of ABC Music & Me as a multi-media language and pre-literacy immersion program. In class, we use a variety of materials to engage a child's learning abilities. Children use instruments to help tell the stories, they listen to audio stories, they contribute ideas, and they retell the stories through pretend-play.
These activities, plus a practical print component in the take home materials works like the bed-time story and reinforces the same literature based activities in class. Each of these components work together to literally engage every available learning ability in a child's developing mind.
Makes me wish I was in preschool again.
