Math & Science
Young children are full of curiosity. They are explorers and inventors. This is a natural time to incorporate reading that has a math, science, technology, or engineering (STEM) focus. Books about STEM help readers develop key skills such as predicting, understanding cause and effect, understanding sequence, building a rich vocabulary, and developing background understanding. Select a good STEM themed book and engage your young reader in developing positive attitudes about the world around them. Pause and reflect and ask questions.
