My Project

My classroom consists of 19 first graders who are eager to learn and have a passion for reading. The Sunshine State Young Readers Award Junior Program is a program in Florida that encourages children in grades kindergarten through second grade to develop a love for reading. The mission of the SSYRA Jr. Program is to develop student interest in reading for pleasure by exposing them to a wide range of appropriate literature. Sunshine State Jr.

books are selected for their wide appeal, literary value, varied genres, curriculum connections, and/or multicultural representation.

Students are encouraged to listen to these books read to them, read them in a small group setting, or read independently to develop skills in fluency and comprehension. Each year the state chooses 15 books to be a part of this program. After the students have read one of these books, they are able to take a Reading Counts quiz on it to earn an SSYRA Brag Tag. My students absolutely LOVE reading these books and earning their Brag Tags. In the spring, students will be eligible to vote for their favorite after listening/reading at least three of the books.

The state has just released the list of books for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year and my students have been begging to get a head start on these and begin reading! These fifteen books will help them to continue their journey of developing a compassion for reading.
