District kicks off second year of "100 Book Challenge"
Oxford, Pa.—Shortly after the first day of school on August 30, students in the Oxford Area School District kicked off the second year of participation in the “100 Book Challenge,” part of the district’s partnership with the American Reading Company’s “Action 100” literacy initiative.
The 100 Book Challenge is designed to encourage students to read independently, and is being used successfully in more than 1,400 schools in 256 school districts across the United States. As part of the program, students select fiction and non-fiction books at their developmentally appropriate independent reading levels which they can read at school and at home.
