Introducing your child to the fun and exciting world of STEM concepts — that’s science, technology, engineering, and math — will open them up to a whole new world of discovery and curiosity. Young minds tend to absorb information more easily, and an early start in these subjects will benefit their learning in all areas.
STEM books are great for inspiring kids to explore math and science. Whether they’re early readers who prefer picture books with detailed, colorful illustrations or middle school readers who have graduated to more complex chapter books with fun facts, the right STEM book will prompt kids to ask questions, learn problem solving skills, and maybe even consider STEM careers for themselves in the future.
Curious kids will love reading stories about scientists, learning the technology involved in everyday inventions like simple machines, and conducting their own science experiments. They'll enjoy discovering more in-depth explanations behind things they see in daily life, like weather patterns, the human body, animal habits, and more.
And, when paired with fun KLUTZ and science kits that they can try out on their own, STEM disciplines — whether they’re exploring scientific principles or mathematical concepts — will have a more tangible, read-world connection.
