ADVANCED VOCABULARY



Vocabulary development is important to improve students’ reading, writing, and test-taking abilities. Our Advanced Vocabulary Workshop increases students’ academic vocabulary and builds a foundation for future vocabulary acquisition.

 

In ten classes, students will develop the vocabulary skills necessary to succeed in an academic environment through a well-designed and dynamic curriculum focused entirely on building vocabulary.

 

Students will:

 

• Become familiar with a variety of strategies for using context clues to determine the meaning of words.

• Learn how roots, suffixes, and prefixes can help them understand new words they encounter outside of this course.

• Recognize the second meanings of words, an important skill for standardized tests.

• Distinguish between commonly confused words.

• Expand their range of idiomatic expressions.

• Build their vocabulary knowledge about specific academic genres, such as natural and social sciences, literature, and humanities.
