WHAT IS IT?

100 Books Before Graduation is a reading initiative for teens to read 100 books before they graduate from high school.

Studies have shown reading for pleasure and enjoyment has a positive impact both academically and socially. Additionally, there is an improvement in emotional health and well-being.

Reading for pleasure can:

• Result in higher test scores
• Improve reading achievement (strong vocabulary, greater use of grammatical structure, and improved writing style)
• Increase social skills
• Reduce stress
• Help cure boredom

Who Can Participate?

Students entering 6^th-12^th in the Sachem Central School District
