What will be done with my students

Once the SSYRA books arrive, a display will be set up promoting the titles, and incentives will be offered to students who read these books. These incentives can make reading more exciting and rewarding for students by encouraging students to set and achieve reading goals.
Rewarding reading time allows students to develop the habit of sustained reading which enhances vocabulary, develops comprehension, improves fluency, fosters imagination, builds empathy, enhances academic success. By implementing effective reading incentive programs, schools can create a positive reading culture that benefits students in countless ways. 

Benefits to my students

SSYRA stories foster a school-wide reading culture for students. By creating a buzz around SSYRA books, we can encourage collaborative reading experiences, book clubs, and classroom discussions. SSYRA titles also encourages independent reading which expands vocabulary, develops comprehension, and motivates reading. Reading a variety of books improves students' ability to understand and analyze text. SSYRA creates excitement around reading and encourages students to explore new genres.
