Sunshine State Reader is an independent reading tracker for the Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA) — Florida's statewide reading program for grades K-8. All 45 nominated titles for 2026-2027 are built in, so a reader can pick their grade band and start logging the first time they open the app. Read three books from your own grade band and you have earned your vote for the SSYRA winner. The app keeps the count and counts down the days to vote day. (Three is the standard requirement; some schools set their own.) TRACK EVERY BOOK • All 45 SSYRA titles for 2026-2027 — 15 each for K-2, 3-5, and 6-8 • Log your page as you go, or run the built-in reading timer: start, stop, resume • Daily reading streaks, plus a progress chart on the Me tab • Rate every book you finish — loved it, it was okay, or not for me • Every book list is bundled, so tracking works offline.
