-
Grammar-savvy students read and revise passages faster.
-
They recognize errors by pattern, not guesswork—saving time and reducing stress.

Understanding sentence structure helps students better interpret complex nonfiction texts—skills tested on the HSPT, ISEE, PSAT, SAT, and ACT reading sections.

Strong grammar improves personal statements, college essays, and even emails to professors!
