Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 18

My students have loved having all of the 2019-2020 Sunshine State Young Reader Junior books at their fingertips. these books are in very high demand at our Media Center, and my studetns were getting frustrated not being able to have the books when they were ready to read.

It has been my experience that when students find books that hold their interest, they gain a love for reading and that love of reading lasts throughout their lifetime.

Each of these books is geared to both my students reading levels and interest levels, they have hleped create a culture of reading in my classroom. Reading is a gift for our future, and thede books certainly are all of that!

Original Grant Overview

Goal

My goal is to foster a love of reading for all of my students. I want each and everyone of my precious 3rd graders to be lifelong readers!

What will be done with my students

I want all of my students to have each of the 15 SSYRA Junior books at their finger tips in our classroom library. The state of Florida chooses fifteen books each year to receive the Sunshine State Young Reader Award; these are wonderful books at just the right level for my students. Reading is a critical area in all disciplines and when students have interesting and fun books readily accessible to them, they become immersed in literature and reap the benefits of becoming a lifelong reader.

Benefits to my students

The benefits of having these amazing books in my classroom library is that the students can read them together and share their opinions and points of view, have meaningful discussions as they collaborate with their peers. By increased reading my students' vocabulary will escalate as well as their fluency.

Budget Narrative

This grant covers the cost of purchasing one classroom set of SSYRA Junior Books, (15 books) for our classroom.
