Goal

The primary goal of this project is to foster a love of independent reading among students by encouraging them to read for pleasure. By providing access to books at, above, and below their current reading levels, this program aims to improve students’ reading fluency, comprehension, and overall literacy skills. 

What will be done with my students

Students will be encouraged to read all 15 Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA) books for grades 3–5 and SSYRA Jr. books for grades K–2. To demonstrate completion and comprehension of each book, students will take an Accelerator Reader quiz. Upon passing the quiz, they will be awarded a custom-designed Brag Tag featuring the book’s cover and the current year. These collectible tags will serve as a visual and motivational tool, celebrating each student’s reading achievement. 

Benefits to my students

This initiative will cultivate a lifelong interest in reading by introducing students to a variety of high-quality literature. As students engage with the books, they will strengthen critical literacy skills, including reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary development. The tangible reward system will further motivate students to read more frequently and with greater focus. 

Budget Narrative

Funding will be used to purchase Brag Tags through SchoolLife.com. The request includes 25 tags for each title in both the SSYRA and SSYRA Jr. categories to ensure enough supply for participating students across multiple grade levels. It also includes the holder to organize the brag tags.
