Learning at Home: Enhancing Education Outside the Classroom by Avery Nightingale explores the crucial role home environments play in fostering early reading habits and preventing the decline in reading motivation observed during elementary school years. This groundbreaking study analyzes longitudinal trends in national reading levels, focusing on the frequency of parent-child book reading. As reading motivation declines after fourth grade, this book provides valuable insights for parents, educators, and policymakers to understand the distinct yet overlapping development of children's reading ability and motivation. By addressing these factors, we can better support children's reading achievements and counter the negative trends affecting their educational growth.

Children in Western countries spend only about 20% of their waking time in school (Meltzoff et al., 2009). Leveraging the 80% of time that they spend outside of school can provide children with opportunities to engage in meaningful, authentic STEM learning experiences with family members, other caregivers, and children. STEM learning and readiness go beyond acquiring content knowledge to include interest, engagement, and motivation for STEM learning as well as the formation of a STEM identity. To date, there has been a dearth of research focusing on children’s informal STEM experiences when compared to formal, school-based STEM learning experiences. This Research Topic focuses attention on the authentic, everyday experiences of children and how these experiences provide opportunities for STEM learning, engagement, and identity. In addition, these papers will explore how these everyday experiences can be leveraged and augmented to promote STEM learning and engagement through culturally-relevant design and implementation.
