Story Time STEAM in Action / en Acción
Every young child is a mathematician! Help early learners explore math and literacy concepts during reading time with Story Time STEAM in Action/en Acción!
Story Time STEAM in Action / en Acción
Story Time STEAM is a community project that focuses on supporting equity in early mathematics for children and families through story time programming and the use of shared reading experiences to support the development of early math skills.
What is Story Time STEAM in Action/en Acción?
Story Time STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) was created to help educators, librarians, and other community-based early learning providers better serve families of color and families who speak languages other than, or in addition to, English. This new, community-driven resource focuses on culturally responsive examples of Story Time STEM in use. The participating librarians want everyone to see the tools and concepts in action!

STEAM in Action
We invite librarians, educators, parents, and caregivers to explore these different voices as the librarians use the Story Time STEM materials and techniques. These examples of Story Time STEAM in Action feature distinct voices from librarians reading content created in both English and Spanish. Their story time videos offer librarians, educators, caregivers, and parents the opportunity to experience Story Time STEAM in use from the perspective of both English and Spanish speakers.

About Story Time STEM
Story Time STEM was launched in 2020 as a research partnership between Washington STEM, the University of Washington Bothell School of Educational Studies, and Puget Sound area public library systems.
Story Time STEM emphasizes, through shared reading experiences, the integration of math and literacy, exploring concepts and practices through children’s literature, honoring young learners’ ideas through interactive discussion, and designing and facilitating professional learning with educators.
