Vocabulary Workshop

Sadlierconnect is an online vocabulary program that allows for concrete as well as application based learning.  There are plenty of objective assignments to test mastery of definitions as well as reading passages and SAT questions to look at the vocabulary in context.

In conjunction with classroom activities, usage in written work and classroom discussion, Vocabulary Workshop assists students in truly enlarging their word power so that they are able to better understand others and express themselves.

As well, building vocabulary has a positive impact on ACT, SAT and AP scores.
