Bring stories to life by bridging literacy, curiosity, and inquiry.
This session shares real-world examples of pairing books with quick, accessible STEAM activities that work in both whole-group and small-group settings. We'll move beyond the read-aloud to show how books can serve as a launchpad for curiosity, exploration, and authentic engagement — supporting cross-curricular integration along the way.
Participants will:
- Identify books that set the stage for authentic, hands-on investigation
- Walk away with a curated list of resources for idea generation and implementation
- Explore strategies for supporting student choice and scaffolding diverse abilities
- Learn practical implementation tips that allow for flexibility
- Experience some of the hands-on activities
