Books that Promote STEM/STEAM Learning in Early Childhood

An enhanced emphasis on STEM/STEAM learning at all levels of education is a trend that continues to gain support. Based on the results of several national testing efforts, it is apparent that students in the United States need a stronger focus on the mathematics and science areas to be competitive globally. Integration of STEM in the early years exposes young children to a problem-solving approach to learning that aligns with their own curiosity. The integration of STEM in these critical years of early childhood may spark an interest in and increase preparation in these fields in the future, which could lead to interest in STEM careers. The list of resources below will guide teachers in incorporating STEAM learning to their current centers, activities, and curriculum by causing children to wonder, investigate, and make their own discoveries.
