The Sunshine State Young Readers Award Program is an opportunity for students in grades 3-5 to read quality books from the selected list during the school year, and then vote for their favorite book. Students from across the state participate, and its always such fun to see if the book selected by Chaffee Trail students is the same as is selected by other Florida students! Check out, post, and comment on our school's SSYRA blog: www.chaffeereads.blogspot.com!
