My Students
I am a fourth grade teacher and have forty-four wonderful students. I am determined to teach them how to LOVE reading books this school year. "Reading is to the mind as what exercise is to the body". My class consists of students from many different socioeconomic backgrounds. There are students in my classroom who don't have print rich homes. They do not have the opportunity to pick up a good book or magazine and enjoy some quiet time reading.
Some of my students are performing in the lowest 25 percent and are below grade level.
This year I will change that number by teaching my students the joy of reading.
My Project
The Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA) Program is a statewide reading motivational program for students sponsored by the Florida Department of Education. 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.
There will be many incentives throughout the year involving the SSYRA books.
In order for us to reach our goals, a copy of each book is needed. Please help us achieve our goals and create a LOVE of reading!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
