Sunshine State and Florida Teens Reads

The Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA) Program is a statewide reading motivational program for students in grades 3 through 8. Books are selected for their wide appeal, literary value, varied genres, curriculum connections, and multicultural representation. The Florida Teens Read (FTR) list is comprised of fifteen titles that have been chosen by a committee of fourteen school librarians specifically to engage high school students.
