What is READING ACROSS BROWARD?
In an effort to motivate Broward students to incorporate reading into their daily lives and foster a lifelong habit of reading, the Superintendent’s Reading Motivation Project was instituted. This program is voluntary for schools and for students. We are pleased to announce that the BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY and the SUN-SENTINEL are Partners in Education to READING ACROSS BROWARD, supporting the program in its efforts to encourage children to read.
How does READING ACROSS BROWARD work?
Efforts of the READING ACROSS BROWARD program include a web site and other outreach products and events that aim to inspire Broward County’s youth to immerse themselves in reading. In addition, students who read and record titles of a specified number of books between April 1st of one year and March 31st of the following year will receive special recognition.
What books must I read?
Elementary school students must read books and record them on the appropriate READING ACROSS BROWARD Reading Record Sheet.
The Level 1 sheet is for those children reading picture books; the Level 2 sheet is for readers of intermediate or “chapter books.” and list them on their Reading Record Sheet. Books may be selected in any combination of the following ways:
• books from recognized bibliographies;
• Reading Rainbow books (elementary grades), Florida Reading Award (kindergarten through second grades), Sunshine State Young Readers Award books (third through eighth grades), and Broward Teen Readers’ Choice Award books (high school);
• any award-winning books, such as Caldecott, Newbery, Coretta Scott King, International Reading Association, and American Library Association Award books
• students’ choices from recommendations by library media specialists, public librarians, teachers, reading specialists, parents, or guardians.
How many books must I read?
The number of books required for recognition in the program depends on three factors: the level of the books being read, the grade level of the student, and the award level desired.
Level 1 = Picture book readers Participation Award (25-49 books) Silver Award (50-74 books) Gold Award (75-99 books) Superintendent's Honor Roll (100 or more books, including 5 award)
Level 2 = Chapter book readers Participation Award (10-25 books) Silver Award (26-34 books) Gold Award (35-49 books) Superintendent's Honor Roll (50 or more books, including 5 award)
(* Examples of genres include: realistic fiction, humorous fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, mystery, occult, romance, westerns, myths, fairy tales, legends, biography, history, sports, and nonfiction.)
