Funded Activity Summary

Building STEM capacity through literacy engagement in spatial reasoning. This project aims to improve boys and girls' spatial reasoning in preschool (when gender differences emerge) by utilizing an activity that both genders equally access: book reading. Spatial reasoning is critical to achievement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). This project will address disproportionate outcomes in spatial reasoning and STEM achievement, particularly among females, by identifying effective kinds of spatial learning opportunities for the preschool context. Expected outcomes include an innovative approach to improving spatial reasoning through literacy engagement. This provides significant benefits by creating pathways into STEM and informing targeted interventions.
