Goal

Create a classroom environment that promotes the love of reading for all students. Sunshine State books create a buzz of excitement, helping to motivate students to develop their independent reading skills.  

 

Category

Learning Aids - Sunshine state book sets, robotics kits, puzzle boards, science models, engineering supplies, etc. 

 

What will be done with my students

By getting a set of Sunshine State books, my students will have the opportunity to have their own class copy of all 15 Sunshine State books. Having access to all 15 books allows my students the ability to read books that are highly sought after and often not available at the media center. After reading, students will have the opportunity to take an Accelerated Reader quiz on the book and earn a brag tag.

In addition to the books, students will be able to earn a brag tag that is labeled with a unique illustration that goes along with the book.  

 

Benefits to my students

The Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA) program is a Florida state wide motivational reading program that is designed to encourage young reader to read independently for enjoyment. The various genres, curriculum connections, and wide appeal help motivate students to read more. Sunshine State books help create a love of reading that can last a lifetime.  

 

Budget Narrative

Funding will go towards a set of all 15 Sunshine State Readers Grades 3-5. As well as sets of accelerated reader brag tags (at different levels) plus shipping and handling.
