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.
Beginning May 15th, the Destin Library will have copies of the Grades 3-5 and Grades 6-8 lists available at the circulation desk. Individuals wishing to receive lists in pdf format may send a request to wrogers@cityofdestin.com requesting “Sunshine State Young Reader’s List” in the subject line.
For further information please contact the library at 837.8572
