Why Summer Reading Matters at Blooming Minds STEAM Academy

At Blooming Minds, we believe that reading isn’t just about learning words—it’s about building imagination, deepening thinking, and connecting to the world. This summer, we’re encouraging all of our students to make reading a daily habit. Whether it’s 10 minutes before bed or a cozy afternoon story, these small moments make a big impact. Why it matters: We understand every child is different—some are eager listeners, others need shorter sessions. That’s okay. We ask all families to read at least 10 books with their children this summer, selected from our suggested reading list. This is a precious window of time—before electronics become the center of attention—where we can help children fall in love with stories, imagination, and learning. Let’s make it count. 💛📖 Thank you, parents, for being our partners in raising thoughtful, curious readers! SUMMER READING LIST
