Sunshine State Young Readers Award

Picture
The Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA) Program is a statewide reading motivational program for students in grades 3 through 8. 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. The SSYRA committee is comprised of 20 qualified school librarians located throughout the state of Florida, subdivided into two committees- grades 3-5 and grades 6-8. 
Attention Parents:
The SSYRA program is facilitated through your child’s school. In most cases, the school library media specialist administers the program, registers the school, and organizes voting. Please see your school librarian to ask how your child can get involved in the SSYRA program. Homeschooled students are welcome to participate as well.
Picture

Homeschool Families:
You can participate by having your child read the books from the list.

Readers of 3 (or more) will be able to vote for their favorite in the spring.

Watch our social media accounts for a link to register to vote sometime in January.
​
Also, be sure to participate in our Facebook Live author events. Please contact the SSYRA grades 3-5 chair, Erik Fassel (
ssyraelem@gmail.com), or the SSYRA grades 6-8 chair, Ana Woodbrey (ssyramiddle@gmail.com), for any additional inquiries.
