== Reading Practice ==


* SAT reading section engages students in difficult and unfamiliar text
** in science, social studies, fiction, and journalism
* many teachers and prep tutors recommend that students engage in general reading in preparation
** this is fine advice, but it's too general to be useful
* instead, we recommend that students become constant readers of fiction and non-fiction across multiple disciplines
* more specifically, since the SAT Reading section uses excerpts,
** identify the sources of released and practice tests
** search titles or text extracts on academic databases (J-STOR, etc.)
** engage difficult short stories from
*** Sake, Virginia Woolf, James Joyce or Henry James
*** learn the historical context of these stories as well<br />
