Reading just 2 books a week equals 104 books in a year! So be ready for all middle school has to offer by taking up the 500 Books Before Middle School challenge!

100 Books Before Graduation

100 Books Before Graduation is a reading program that aims to challenge students between grades 6-12 to read 100 books before they graduate from high school. While 100 books may sound like a lot, you do not have to finish this challenge until you graduate high school, so that should be plenty of time. For every 25 books you read and log, you will be able to receive a prize! Beyond this, reading has some benefits that can only help you, such as: reduced stress, improved academic performance, a larger vocabulary, and more!
