TAKE YOUR GAME TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
Join us as we read together!
This year we will focus on three main reading challenges: AR, SSYRA/SSYRA JR, and Monthly Library Challenges. Each one is uniquely designed to serve our student population. Complete one, two, or all three!
AR Challenge
Kindergarten will read and take AR tests together as a class. Once the class has read 5,000 words, the class will have their picture taken and added to the Book Club board outside the library. All other grade levels have individual goals:
- 1st grade-50,000 words
- 2nd grade-150,000 words
- 3rd grade-400,000 words
- 4th grade-800,000 words
- 5th grade-1,000,000 words
SSYRA Challenge
SSYRA Program
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.
