The Sunshine State Young
Readers Award (SSYRA)
Program is a statewide
reading motivational
program for students in
grades K through 8 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.
**Reading with and to your child
is encouraged. Active listening is
part of reading comprehension**
