The ACT is a LONG test, so I'm pretty happy that the next round of ACT testing debuts the shorter, more manageable test. That said, the ACT still tests A LOT of content. In this Reading and English test, you'll learn strategies to help you on these two tests. For Reading, we'll cover the following: *What to write when you read: annotation strategies *Strategies for answering the questions *Avoiding trap answers *Multiple Texts passages For English, we'll cover these topics: *Punctuation *Sentence-level grammar *Editing skills for Student-As-Editor questions *Word Choice We'll cover one topic a week, as outlined in the syllabus. We'll use materials I have created. I use many examples and a lot of visual aids, and students will receive a downloadable "workbook" chapter for each lesson. I strongly recommend purchasing these books for homework practice: The Critical Reader: The Complete Guide to ACT Grammar by Erica L. Meltzer. The Critical Reader: The Complete Guide to ACT Reading by Erica L. Meltzer. Each has a lot of practice for each question/passage type. Because it's best to use official test questions to prepare, I recommend that students purchase The Official ACT Prep Guide 2024-2025 for homework and to gauge their progress.

After teaching high school French and Spanish for 25 years, I semi-retired and began a second career as a test-prep and academic tutor. I specialize in the reading and writing section of the SAT and ACT. I have studied the reading, English, and science questions very carefully, and my strategies have helped many students raise their composite scores, sometimes by ~3-5 points. (Results depend on student effort and other factors, but students who practice my strategies generally see an increase on these three sections.)Reseñas
