This is the Vocabulary/Reading class to build up the advanced comprehensive Reading and Vocabulary skills for middle school students. This class is also help to prepare for the SSAT/HSPT tests which are the standard tests for Private High school application. We will refine the reading/vocabulary skills and tips by practice tests for each section.
The SSAT score is required by OES, Catlin Cable high school application or it can be used to qualify the talented search program such as Johns Hopkins for talented youth https://cty.jhu.edu/. SSAT tests usually are hosted by some local schools like OES, Catlin Cable. The tests are usually offered in December, January, and February.
The HSPT test is similar to the SSAT test, which is used by the Christian High schools like Jesuit, St. Mary, or Valley Catholic. HSPT test is usually offered in January by the private school like Jesuit.
We will use "Wordly Wise Book 7" for expanding students' vocabulary with a comprehensive reading context. The "Reading Detective B1" will be used to build the comprehensive reading skills with high quality texts. We will use the SSAT/HSPT online practice tests for practice and mock the real tests.
