2019 Providence Schools Summer Reading Lists
Summer reading  is critical for students to retain knowledge and skills learned in the previous school year. Students who don't  read  are at risk of falling behind their classmates. Parents and teachers can avoid this by making sure kids take time to  read ....at least 20 minutes a day! Check Providence Schools Reading lists here.
