Using Fictional Stories as a Pathway to Science Content
To celebrate “Tell a Fairy Tale” day, I am highlighting some new books that have crossed my path…
When I saw these, I had one of those…”why didn’t I think of that” moments. Luckily, Jasmine Brooke did! π
These books start off with non-fiction features–a table of contents and a “How to Use this Book”, but then they continue with their story features, popping in some of those non-fiction components throughout, like bolded words. Once you are nestled into the story, and the problem featured within the story elements…then it is…let’s pause and STEM! I love this! π It goes right along with the research I posted about a few weeks ago: Novels and Engineering…YES, Please!
Some of the stories have multiple STEM engaging points, which really help to bring these stories to life! Wow, and I already thought that literacy was interactive! π
Enjoy!
