Develop Early STEM Skills for Kids

Everyone knows early literacy skills are important. But we should also be promoting early STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) skills.

Early childhood is the natural starting point for STEM learning, as young children are curious and want to explore their environments.

5 ways to help develop STEM skills from a young age

  • Encourage children to notice things.
  • Encourage children to describe things they see and do.
  • Ask ‘what’ rather than ‘why’ questions.
  • Encourage children to count using one-to-one correspondence.
  • Encourage children to think about space around them.

Many STEM learning toys and workbooks are available these days to use. Let your kids to enjoy and learn at the same time!
