Ready, Set, Go | An Amazing Anticipatory Set Song for Speech

Empower your late talker to say their first words with this powerful anticipatory set

An anticipatory set is a strategy that grabs a child’s attention and engages them so that they are ready to learn. Anticipatory set examples that work well with toddlers include “Ready, Set…Go!”, “One, two…three!”, and  “Three, Two, One…blastoff!”

For toddlers and preschoolers, using an anticipatory set like “Ready, Set…GO!” before a motivating action is a highly effective way to capture attention. “Go” is a fabulous first word to model to children with speech delays because of its simplicity and power potential. The word "go" is absolute gold, so it is modeled many times in this speech and language song. 

The Ready, Set, Go song also targets other common first words, like: stop, push, pull, bubbles, uh oh, oh no, there it goes, and more. Get your little one singing, dancing, and chatting with the awesome anticipatory set featured in this expressive language song!
