Summer Reading
Children
Passport to Summer Learning is an initiative of Providence Public Library and Providence Community Libraries in partnership with Providence Public School District and the Office of the Mayor to connect elementary students with learning and enrichment opportunities throughout the summer to mitigate summer learning loss.
PPSD data analysis has shown that this program has had significant positive outcomes for early literacy students (K-2) especially - a strong start in the early years may provide stronger readers by 3rd grade and beyond.
