 The
Florida Association
for Media in Education has a young adult reading award for students
in grades 9-12, Florida Teens Read. The mission of
the program is to encourage Florida teens to read enjoyable, quality
literature that will stimulate imagination, awaken curiosity, expand
horizons, enhance verbal fluency, and foster critical thinking and a
lifelong love for reading and learning.
Florida
Teens Read will nominate ten to fifteen books per year. The
books nominated will be chosen to:
-
Engage
high school students
-
Reflect
interests of high school students
-
Represent
a variety of genres, formats, reading levels, viewpoints, and ethnic
and cultural perspectives
-
Include
both books written for young people and those written for adults
The
books may be fiction or nonfiction with a copyright within the last
three years. Currently, high schools will not need to register to participate
in voting for their favorite book. FAME is developing a blog for students
to share perceptions of the books with their peers and to recommend
titles of interest. For more information, including guidelines and resources
to promote the program, go to FAME's Florida
Teens Reads web page.
