Build precise vocabulary for the passages and answer choices you meet in SAT Reading and Writing.
Review the full Evidence and Research handout from Class 01, then apply the words in the separate vocabulary homework.

In each unit
Explore words in context, distinguish close meanings, recall them without a definition, then apply them to a new passage. Return later for a short review.
Vocabulary learning supports Words in Context, which has its own question-type practice.
