Coding Concepts for Little Learners
Can you believe that, “preschoolers ask an average of 76 information seeking questions per hour?” Per research in The Roots of STEM Success and other studies we know our little learners’ brains are reading to grow! Encourage STEM thinking with these books that support early math and precoding skills. Through guided play, robust parent-child interactions and open-ended questions our preschoolers learn by playing together with the caring adults in their lives. Children learn through play and we develop our early learning STEM programs with this research in mind. The books below selected by our children’s STEM committee feature early math concepts like patterns, repetition, counting and sorting and they’ll help get preschoolers ready to be the next tinkerers, makers and problem solvers—but mostly they’re just fun to read. Explore and enjoy.
