How Project Benefits Students

FAME - lorida Association for Media in Education states that
"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."

My students are already excited about this years SSYRA books, and only having 2 copies of each book is not going to be enough. Students are going to have to wait to read the books that they want.  

 

Expected Outcome(s)

With 2 extra copies of the SSYRA books there is going to be a greater accessibility to each of the books. This will also allow me to make the program available to 3rd graders as well.
