Read, Explore, Create: Nebraska Extension’s 2025 STEAM Imagination Guides

Let your child’s imagination grow this summer through books, hands-on fun, and colorful activities! Reading with children is one of the most powerful ways to spark curiosity, learning, and connection. Through shared reading experiences, children build foundational skills like print awareness, vocabulary, comprehension, and storytelling. Nebraska Extension’s early childhood STEAM Imagination Guides make it easy to include meaningful reading moments into your day — while exploring science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) concepts.
