Reading Partners Tulsa

05/29/2026

As we near the end of National Mental Health Awareness Month, Reading Partners encourages you to keep prioritizing your mental well-being 💛

For each of us, that can look different, but what matters most is being intentional about the things that support us.

And yes, reading (it's in our name 📚) is a powerful place to start:
📙 Brain boost — Reading daily keeps your mind sharp and improves memory
📘 Stress relief — A good book helps you escape daily worries and find calmness
📙 Better vocabulary — Reading expands your word bank, building confidence and connection
📘 Improved focus — Reading trains your brain to concentrate in a busy world

👉 What do you like to do to support your mental health?

📚 Today we’re celebrating World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, also known as Cultural Diversity Day!

It’s a reminder to explore and engage with stories from a variety of cultures and perspectives. 💛

Looking for a fun, easy way to get started? Pair reading with a simple activity! For example, if you’re reading a book about an igloo? Try making one out of paper or drawing your own ❄️✂️

Small, creative moments like these can help bring stories to life. Thank you for embracing the incredible cultures that make our world a beautiful place!

☀️📚 Ever wonder what happens to learning over summer break?

It’s called the summer slide: when students can lose some of the progress they made during the school year, especially in reading and math.

The good news? A little reading and learning throughout the summer can make a big difference! 📚💡

➡️ Swipe to learn what the summer slide is to help students stay on track!

Health isn’t just physical. 💚 Today, we’re shining a light on mental health for our kids.

Happy Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day! 📚✨
We’re sharing a few book recs to help young readers (and grown-ups, too) better understand the many ways mental health can show up in our lives.

More importantly, take a moment today to do something that brings you joy—big or small. You deserve it! 💫
