SAT의 CR의 경우, 독서의 양과 성적이 대부분의 경우에 비례합니다. 단어를 외우면서, 그 단어가 쓰여진 고전을 읽게 되면 더 좋겠습니다.
학원에 가지 않아도 집에서 부모의 지도에 의해 할 수 있는 방법 중의 하나입니다.
미국 수능위원회.(collegeboard)에서는 101권의 명작..대부분의 저자가 노벨문학상 수상자..을 소개하여, 중고등학생들에게 읽기를 권장하며, 또 그 안에서 해마다 출제하고 있는 경향이 두드러집니다. 걸리버여행기, 보물섬과 같이..중학생이 읽어도 좋은명작과 고등학생들의 사고력을 길러줄수있는 명작이 수록된 리스트입니다. 가까운 서점에서, 쉽게 구입이 가능하며, BN 출판사의 경우에는 권당 6불에서 10불 내외의 책이지만, 가치는 말로 할 수 없는 내용들입니다. 가정에 행복을 기원합니다.
