Help me give my students that are selected for their wide appeal, literacy value, varied genres, curriculum connections, and/or multicultural representation.
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, my goal is to continue to encourage and deepen their love for learning and change their way of thinking into a positive growth mindset.
My students are creative, inspiring, and talented in so many different ways.
My Project
The Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA) Program is a statewide reading motivational program for students in grades 3 through 8, in a collaborative effort between the Florida Association of Media in Education (FAME) and the Florida Department of Education (DOE).
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.
By contributing to this project, I will be able to assure that my students will have access to each of these books and will be able to participate in next year's voting of Florida's "Favorite" Book!
