Davenport Schools Website Offers Free Summer Learning Resources
Davenport, IA – The Davenport Community School District website offers a wealth of free online educational resources, which can be found on the Summer Learning page at https://www.davenportschools.org/summer2021.
Media specialists have prepared summer reading lists for students, grades 1 through 12. The lists are divided into groups for grades 1-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. These lists will help students and their parents to find enjoyable books, at the right reading level, during the summer months.
