My Project

The Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA) Program is a statewide reading motivational program for students in grades 3 through 8. The purpose of the SSYRA Program is to encourage students to read independently for pleasure and to read books that are on, above, and below their reading level in order to improve their reading fluency. Sunshine State books are selected for their wide appeal, literary value, varied genres, curriculum connections, and/or multicultural representation. This program also encourages teamwork, healthy competition, and goal setting.

This project will give my students access to the fantastic titles on the newly released 2024-2025 Sunshine State Young Readers Award book list!

Every year, the state of Florida selects 15 titles for the Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA) books. In our school, students in grades 3- 5 have the opportunity to earn brag tags upon completion of the book. I also use these books to read aloud to the class.
