This episode is 🔢 Baby STEM - (I'm infinitely excited!)

*A handy tool to help young children develop critical mathematical thinking.

+Math is measuring, building, noticing shapes and describing the environment, as well as counting, sorting + even more!

Each brain boosting episode runs 10-15 minutes and is focused on these subjects: Science, Math with a little Tech and Engineering thrown in :).

🔢 CONSIDER THIS: To help a child grow their language, we talk, read and sing to them. We need to do the same with math. Baby STEM will help!

Warmly, Miss Pam!

Math is important and it’s important to help young children develop their mathematical thinking. A child’s math knowledge at the start of kindergarten predicts later academic achievement better than early reading or attention skills. (NAEYC.org)

I feel lucky to be able to spend a few months in London each year with my daughter's family with 2 grandchildren, ages 1 and 3 years. This helps to keep me on my early literacy toes and I get to use and test the podcast! I spend the rest of the year between the east coast of the US and rural Jamaica.

++Season 4 is made up of episodes recorded from each of these 3 places.

++Episode 1 has a distinctive British flavour. Cheers!

 🌱 Funny Phonics is wonky, wordplay fun geared to 2-5 years AND fun for ALL. Just 10 minutes a day builds a lifetime of learning.  

IMPORTANT  Parents and caregivers can help to grow readers from birth when they play with words and sounds in fun and engaging ways.  Let's show little ones how much fun it is to play with words.

 *Sometimes, draw attention to the Ss/ and Aa/ sounds that are in the episode and sometimes refrain from doing so and just have fun!

PHONICS: The understanding that there is a predictable relationship between phonemes (the sounds of the spoken language) and graphemes (the letters and spellings that represent those sounds in written language) - -Bonnie Armbruster. Put Reading First: The Research Building Blocks for Teaching Children to Read, National Institute of Literacy.

PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS: Is the ability to hear and play with the smaller sounds in words.

LETTER KNOWLEDGE: Knowing that each letter has different sounds and names.

+Things to do with your little one: find shapes around your home - shapes are everywhere! COUNT steps on a staircase. SORT toys - things with wheels, soft toys, circles or spheres. NOTE numbers on buses or signs.
