Including preschool books in every day play is beneficial for both the associated literary skills and as a supplemental resource to many important teaching topics. At Kodo, we use books to help reinforce learning and promote children's daily investigations! Some of these preschool books may be familiar while some may not be, and each will inspire young engineers, scientists, artists, and inventors! This book list was curated by Diane Spahn, Kodo’s Early Childhood Education Specialist. Download 15 STEM Words for Preschoolers
