Sustained Silent Reading (SSR) is a program that provides time for independent recreational reading in a supportive environment to encourage reading. It works by giving students access to interesting books and a quiet place to read with no requirements, while training staff to promote reading. Research has shown both positive and negative effects of SSR programs.
