Deep Dive Reading Lab: Building Strong Readers & Future Test-Takers


Today, students in our Deep Dive Reading Lab explored 10 vocabulary words commonly found in challenging reading passages, including those students may encounter on future assessments such as the PSAT, SAT, and ACT.

Our focus is not just on test preparation, but on helping students become stronger readers, critical thinkers, and confident learners.

Today’s vocabulary words included:

✅ Trace
✅ Amplify
✅ Plausible
✅ Conducive
✅ Prominent
✅ Void
✅ Alarmed
✅ Integral
✅ Exceptional
✅ Immerse

Students were assigned a Blooket review game for homework to reinforce today’s learning:

We would love to welcome additional rising 8th-grade students to join us as we continue diving deeper into vocabulary, reading comprehension, context clues, inference skills, and academic reading strategies with an eye toward future PSAT success.
