SAT Reading & Writing Packets (2020 Edition)

Book excerpt: A great companion to The Official SAT Study Guide 2020 Edition! The SAT can be stressful and overwhelming, but this SAT Reading and Writing guide will break the test down into more manageable "packets" of information so that students can narrow their focus to just one question type at a time. Smaller goals are easier to achieve! As students complete each packet, they'll boost their confidence and their scores. This guide includes over 400 practice Reading and Writing questions. There are also detailed lessons to help students learn "The Basics" that they need for each topic, as well as "The Twists" that the SAT will use to make the questions seem much more difficult than they actually are. Start with the lessons for the SAT-specific strategies so that you can learn more efficient ways to answer the questions in the packets and on the real SAT. SAT Reading and Writing Packets also lists the corresponding packet for every Evidence-Based Reading and Writing question on the 10 Official SAT Practice Tests released by the College Board. (The SAT Reading and Writing Packets study guide has no affiliation with the College Board.) You can take the official practice tests and then use the charts in this guide to identify your weak areas! This guide is also GREAT FOR TUTORS who are looking to supplement the official practice tests. Tutors can choose lessons that cover questions your students miss on practice exams. And the detailed explanations are placed in the back of the book so that you can take the lead for your lessons. Most other guides clutter their chapters with long blocks of text. SAT Reading and Writing Packets gets out of the way so that tutors can structure their own lessons and students can focus on answering the questions.
