Reading Motivation
-
Reading Across Broward is the Superintendent's long-standing Reading Motivation Program. This program encourages independent leisure reading for all K-12 students. Elementary students have the option of completing a paper reading log or using the District's latest application, Beanstack to track their reading. Students earn certificates for the number of books read from April 1st to March 31st. The Florida Association for Media in Education (FAME) is the state organization for Media Specialists. The FAME Committees create lists of the best books selected by a committee of media specialists from across the state and voted online by Florida students. The winning author is celebrated at the annual FAME state conference. The lists are the Sunshine State Young Reader Awards for elementary and middle. The high school list is the Florida Teens Read. The Flordia Reading Association also provides an annual list for elementary. Find out more from your school's media specialist.
