About SSYRA
The Sunshine State Young Reader's Award Program is a statewide reading
motivation program for students in grades 3-8. The program, cosponsored by
the School Library Media Services Office of the Department of Education and
the Florida Association for Media in Education (FAME), began in 1983. The
purpose of the SSYRA Program is to encourage students to read independently
for personal satisfaction, based on interest rather than reading level.
Sunshine State books are selected for their wide appeal, literary value,
varied genres, curriculum connections, and/or multicultural representation.
Students are encouraged to read books that are above, on, and below their
tested reading level in order to improve their reading fluency.
