Here are this year's Author Facebook Live events!
FAME is excited to announce this year’s award nominees. Media specialists representing all districts across the state work with integrity and heart to curate great lists each year, with the goal for each and every one of Florida’s students to find three books they want to read and with which they can connect. That’s all it takes for students to vote for their favorites: read at least three and vote. We are especially proud of these lists, knowing they are for our students first and believe that students will find at least three to read this year. We know that not every book is for every student, but we want every student to have the chance to find the book they need, whether it be a window, a mirror, or a door to another world. Many thanks to the media specialists who curate these lists, the media specialists across the state who promote free choice reading in their schools, and mostly to the families and students that participate in our program. Happy reading and have fun as you READ THREE!

Because students can read anywhere anytime, we recognize the importance to provide incentives and motivate independent reading now more than ever. It is our honor to work with FAME and the entire Florida community during these uncertain times. In an effort to keep students engaged and motivated to read, we are offering Remote Reading SSYRA Brag Tags® in small quantities to accommodate remote reading during school closures. We will ship directly to a home or "remote" address.
