FAME Signature Programs

➤Jim Harbin Student Media Festival
➤Sunshine State Young Readers Award, Jr. (SSYRA Jr.)
➤Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA)
➤Florida Teens Read (FTR)
Florida Association for Media in Education (FAME) runs and manages four signature programs for the students throughout the state of Florida. As media educators, school librarians teach all of the major literacies: information, visual, digital, media, solution, and of course, traditional literacy. These signature programs help students  become proficient in these literacies in a fun, rewarding way.
Jim Harbin Student Media Festival:
Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA):
Picture
The Sunshine State Young Readers Award is one of the nations top student-choice reading award programs, being one of the major predictor of sales of children's books. The purpose of the program is to promote reading for enjoyment to students and to give children a voice in children's book awards. Students read at least three of the fifteen titles on the annual list, and vote with their peers across the state of Florida to select which book wins the award for favorite book. There are two lists: one is for grades 3-5, and one is for grades 6-8. The lists contain a variety of genres and reading levels- something for everyone!

Sunshine State Young Readers Award, Jr. (SSYRA Jr.):
Picture
SSYRA Jr. is FAME's newest program for primary students and emerging readers in grades PreK-2. Like SSYRA, the focus of the program is encouraging students to read for fun and pleasure. There are ten picture books and five early reader books (beginning chapter books). Students who read at least three, or have the books read aloud to them, may participate in the state-wide vote to determine the student choice for favorite book.

Florida Teens Read (FTR):
Picture
YA Lit (Young Adult Literature) has become one of the fastest growing genres of literature in the publishing business. Until fairly recently there was a dearth of quality literature written specifically for teens, and now there is an abundance of books that is making reading popular with high school students and adults alike. The FTR program encourages teens to read for enjoyment in spite of the national statistics that show a marked drop off in pleasure reading for high school students due to the increase in academic reading. Florida Teens Read aims to reverse this trend. Fifteen titles specifically selected with teen interests in mind give students a variety of genres from which to choose. Teens across Florida then vote to determine which title wins the Florida Teens Read award.
