Our Scholastic Fall Book Fair is coming!!! Mark your calendars, the dates are Sept. 15-22, 2023!!
Students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade who read at least 3 of the SSYRA titles for each year will be able to vote, along with students all over Florida, for their favorite book. The book that gets the most votes wins the SSYRA award. The winning author will be recognized at the annual FAME conference
Students can also earn prizes for reading a certain amount of the SSYRA books.
Welcome! The mission of the SSYRA Jr. program is to develop student interest in reading for pleasure by exposing them to a wide range of appropriate literature. Sunshine State Jr. books are selected for their wide appeal, literary value, varied genres, curriculum connections, and/or multicultural representation. Students are encouraged to listen to these books read to them, read them in a small group setting, or read independently to develop skills in fluency and comprehension. Students will be eligible to vote in the spring after listening/reading at least three of the books. The winning author and illustrator will be recognized at the annual FAME conference.
