¡No más conjeturas! Puntuación del SAT: límites de oraciones con tutor certificado y experto

In this class, students will learn how to answer sentence boundary questions on the SAT. Not every punctuation rule in existence is tested on the SAT, so we'll look only at colons, semicolons, dashes, periods, question marks, quotation marks, and commas (briefly). I cover commas extensively in Lesson 1: Commas. We'll also review different kinds of "non-essential descriptive phrases," so students will learn what makes a phrase "essential" or "non-essential." 

Students will take turns reading slides that include the rules, explanations, examples, mnemonic devices, and more. We'll answer SAT-style sentence boundary questions, too. For homework, I encourage students to practice with questions from the College Board Question Bank, available on the College Board website. 

Instruction consists of teacher-made instructional material including slide presentations with original questions modeled after the College Board's questions. Additionally, I highly recommend that students purchase this book for homework practice: The Critical Reader: The Ultimate Guide to SAT Grammar by Erica L. Meltzer. It has a lot of practice for each question type. The student will also use the College Board Question Bank for practice. 

In order to see a score increase, it's essential that students not only attend the session but also continue to practice after the class, take practice tests, and, if necessary, study vocabulary on their own. I offer Vocabulady's SAT Vocab Game Night classes on Outschool to help with this. They're fun and effective. 

I am patient, kind, empathetic, creative, and flexible, and your success is my goal. I've spent two years studying the reading and writing section of the Digital SAT, and I know what you need to look for when you're answering questions. I can also help you see why the wrong answers are wrong. (And my jokes are hilarious.)
