The Sunshine State program is an exciting way to encourage students to read books
for pleasure and then offers rewards for their effort!
Each level contains 15 excellent books which are promoted throughout Florida schools.
Sunshine State Jr.
Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, & developing 3rd
Sunshine State Young Readers
Independent 3rd, 4th, & 5th
The program will officially kick-off in the fall, but you can start reading and taking AR tests now! Books can be found in local & online bookstores, at the county libraries, and online through the Sora tile in the SCPS Portal. Simply ask for the “Sunshine State Books” (make sure you specify the Sunshine State Jr. or Sunshine State Young Reader list!)
