Closing the Reading Gap: How Creative STEAM Is Raising Confident Readers
At Creative STEAM Academy, we discovered many students arrive with hidden reading gaps. So we built a solution: school-wide reading assessments, one-on-one intervention with reading specialists, and daily novel studies from TK–8th grade. Teachers even read novels aloud through middle school to keep reading joyful. Our assessments aren’t for ranking students they identify gaps, guide support, and give families peace of mind. Literacy is our standard, not an add-on.
When Children Get to Choose: Why Homeschooling Keeps Creativity Alive
When children have no say in their learning, creativity slowly fades. Homeschooling changes that by giving students choice, curiosity, and ownership of their education. At Creative STEAM Academy, students design projects, explore interests, and learn through hands-on experiences guided by credentialed teachers. We keep creativity alive while building strong academic foundations and confident, independent thinkers.
Why So Many Kids Say “I Hate Reading” And How We Change the Story
Many children start out loving stories, but rigid reading benchmarks can turn reading into stress instead of joy. When kids are forced to move at a standardized pace instead of their own, confidence drops and motivation fades. At Creative STEAM Academy, we build lifelong readers by honoring each child’s pace, using daily read-alouds, audiobooks, and novel studies that make reading social, fun, and meaningful.
