Let’s recap by discussing the SSYRA books we read this summer! You don’t need to have read a SSYRA to attend; simply choose your favorite summer read. Participants will choose a book to be the first focus of Archer’s Tween Book Club meeting on Wednesday, October 16th and Wednesday, November 20th at 1 pm.
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 composed of 20 qualified school librarians located throughout the state of Florida, subdivided into two committees- grades 3-5 and grades 6-8.
Elementary (6-11 years), Teens (12-18 years)
