For the next few weeks, METS will be posting a word of the day. Some will be in the SAT prep vein, others will be college-related words you may have heard, and not completely understood.
Today’s word is:
Weal
well-being, prosperity, or happiness: the public weal; weal and woe.
Many, many studies have shown that there are many benefits for high school students who regularly read during the summer. Students who don’t may suffer from “Summer Slide” which is when students can lose up to a month of the knowledge they learned during the previous year. I don’t know about you, but I’m not interested in having to learn the same things twice.
Reading is also the best, and most enjoyable way to improve your vocabulary, which is a must if you are going to be taking the SAT soon!
Looking to do a little SAT prep work during the summer? Of course you are!
The UMaine Farmington Upward Bound program puts out a series of videos during their summer program that will help you work on your vocabulary, while also probably making you laugh..
