SAT vs. ACT Reading: Similarities and Strategies

Dear parents, understanding the similarities and differences between the SAT and ACT reading sections is essential when preparing your child for these exams. At Peak Learning Solutions, we recognize the importance of equipping your child with effective strategies that apply to both tests.

Both the SAT and ACT reading sections require your child to read and comprehend passages of varying topics. It is crucial for your child to develop strong reading skills, including active reading, critical thinking, and efficient information retrieval.

To excel in both exams, our teachers (we call ourselves teachers because we are all teachers first unlike most tutors and tutoring organizations) will teach your child the importance of close reading and annotating the passages. They will guide your child to identify main ideas, supporting evidence, and the author's purpose. By understanding the structure and tone of the passages, your child will be better equipped to answer questions accurately.

Our teachers (we call ourselves teachers because we are all teachers first unlike most tutors and tutoring organizations) will also emphasize the significance of vocabulary development. Building a robust vocabulary is beneficial for both exams, as it aids in understanding the nuances and context of the passages. We will provide your child with vocabulary-building exercises
