Theme - ‘What Moves?’ - 5 weeks

STEM and literacy are deeply connected.
In the early years, STEM may be one of the most powerful literacy contexts we have—inviting children to speak, listen, draw, gesture, argue, revise, and tell stories based on real experiences.

These books have been selected because they don’t explain movement; they make children curious enough to investigate it. Each book opens a different doorway into motion, and together they support real research, not activities.

Text: Simple, rhythmic text

Why it belongs:
This book introduces foundational ideas of motion in playful, accessible ways.

What makes it powerful:

  • push and pull
  • stuck vs. moving
  • gravity without formal language
  • clear cause-and-effect moments

Reggio connections:

  • Encourages retelling, reenactment, and shared meaning-making
  • Supports collective discussion and revisiting theories

SEPs (educator language):

  • Asking questions (Why did it stop?)
  • Planning and carrying out investigations (trying different ways to move)
  • Constructing explanations based on experience
  • Communicating ideas through talk, play, and drawing
