For High School Students:
This class reviews challenging passages from a variety of sources, including official ACT and new SAT passages as well as current publications. We focus solely on challenging/advanced reading, as research indicates that regular practice with such materials is directly correlated with higher test scores.To practice writing, students will compose essays in response to the types of prompts that appear on standardized tests in addition the types of prompts assigned at the college-level.
For Middle School Students:
The aim of the reading class is to improve students’ reading comprehension and writing skills.
Through the challenging reading passages and accompanying questions, students will develop their analytical abilities and vocabularies every week. Students in the class will also learn about collaboration and public speaking as a result of the group projects, discussions, and presentations.
Outside of class, the homework assignments are designed to hone the students’ writing talents. Overall, the class will help students in thinking critically, a skill they can apply to their schoolwork and standardized testing.
