Goal

The goal of this project is to motivate third grade students to read all 15 Sunshine State Young Readers books. This project will encourage stamina building in reading and promote activities that involve reading, speaking, listening, and writing.  

 

What will be done with my students

Students will have the opportunity to read all 15 SSYRA books. In order to complete a book, the students need to take a Reading Counts test for that book. They will track their progress with their Reading Counts Tracker, to achieve their goal. Once they have read 5, they will get a chance to share a book review with the class in order to persuade others to read that book. This encompasses the opportunity for students to practice persuasive and debating skills to encourage peers to become excited about various types of literature.  

 

Benefits to my students

This project will motivate students to explore various types of literature. Most students tend to chose the same types of books and this will expand their understandings of different genres and build a passion for reading. This also gives the students a challenge of reading highly complex texts much like they will see on the FSA (Florida Standards Assessment). With being a title 1 school, most students do not have access to newly published literature. This would give those students a chance to become excited and build love of reading. As a special benefit, all students reading the complete set of 15 SSYRA books, will be taken on a field trip in a limo to Barnes and Noble.
