We are loving this initiative from Story Time from Space!
Write-up from HuffPost.
If you’re looking for a way to take story time up a notch with the kids in your life, why not turn to astronauts?
That’s the premise of Story Time from Space, a project from the nonprofit Global Space Education Foundation that features astronauts reading beloved children’s books from the International Space Station.
Patricia Tribe, the former director of education at Space Center Houston who came up with the basis for the project, told HuffPost that the thought of merging space and reading came up after she did some research on literacy and science skills in the United States. She decided to merge STEM and literacy in a way that’s easily accessible for kids.
