A completed worksheet can tell us a child worked. It cannot, by itself, tell us how much they learned. This week, change the question from “How much did you finish?” to “What can you do now that you couldn’t do before?” That’s where progress becomes visible. Know Before You Grow™.

To abide in Jesus means to stay connected to Him—not just when life gets hard, but every day.

It means:
• Staying in His Word
• Talking with Him in prayer
• Trusting Him when you don’t understand
• Obeying His direction
• Letting Him shape your desires and decisions

John 15 reminds us that a branch cannot produce fruit apart from the vine. In the same way, we were never meant to do life disconnected from Christ.

Abiding is not visiting Jesus when you need help. It is making your home in Him.

🙏 “Lord, let Your Word live in me, guide my choices, and align my plans with Yours.”

“Abide in me…” — John 15:4

SAT Word of the Day: Imperious

Being confident is one thing.

Acting as though everyone should obey you is something completely different.

👑 Imperious means arrogantly commanding or expecting to be obeyed without question.

Here’s the nuance:

✅ Assertive = confident and willing to speak up
❌ Imperious = domineering, superior, and demanding obedience

📚 Example:
The director’s imperious tone made it clear that she expected no disagreement.

🎯 SAT Success Tip:
When two answer choices have similar dictionary meanings, check their connotation.

The SAT may give you two words that both describe confidence—but only one matches the author’s attitude.

That is why knowing the definition is only the beginning.

💬 Have you ever dealt with someone who was more imperious than assertive?

Progress isn’t measured by how many worksheets get finished, how many pages get read, or how long your child sits at the table. 📚

The better question is: What can your child understand or do today that was difficult last week?

Can they explain the concept more clearly?
Can they solve the problem with less help?
Can they apply the skill in a new situation?
Can they work with greater accuracy and confidence?

That’s growth.

This week, don’t get distracted by a long checklist of completed activities. Pay attention to the evidence that learning is actually taking place.

✨ Measure learning—not activity. Measure growth—not busyness.

And when something is working, keep it. When it isn’t, adjust it.

“Test everything; hold fast what is good.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:21

🎓 SAT Word of the Day: Miserly

There’s a difference between being careful with money—and refusing to spend it at all.

That distinction is exactly where today’s SAT word comes in.

📘 Miserly means extremely stingy or unwilling to spend money.

Here’s the nuance:

✅ Frugal = careful, practical, and smart with money
❌ Miserly = excessively cheap, hoarding money, and unwilling to spend even when it makes sense

📚 Example:
The miserly billionaire refused to turn on the heat during the winter blizzard.

🎯 SAT Success Tip:
The SAT often tests connotation, not just definition.

Frugal and miserly both describe someone who does not spend freely, but the tone is very different.

One sounds responsible.

The other sounds selfish or extreme.

That difference can help you eliminate a tempting answer choice.

💬 Your turn:
Would you rather be described as frugal or miserly?

🎓 SAT Word of the Day: Exacerbate

Some actions make a problem smaller.

Others make it worse.

That’s where today’s SAT word comes in.

📘 Exacerbate means to make a problem, condition, or negative situation more severe.

Here’s the nuance:

Exacerbate is usually used when something bad already exists—and then gets worse.

📚 Example:
Lack of sleep can exacerbate test anxiety, making it harder for students to focus and perform under pressure.

🎯 SAT Success Tip:
Words like exacerbate, worsen, intensify, and aggravate are closely related, but context still matters.

And remember the contrast from Monday:

✅ Mitigate = make a problem less severe
❌ Exacerbate = make a problem more severe

Understanding that contrast makes both words easier to remember—and easier to recognize in context.

💬 Your turn:
What is one thing that can exacerbate stress before a major test?

Drop your answer below, and save this word for your next SAT practice session. 📌

Mitigate does NOT mean eliminate.
The problem may still exist—you’ve simply made its impact smaller.

📚 Example:
Regular practice can help mitigate test anxiety by making students more comfortable with the timing and format of the exam.

🎯 SAT Success Tip:
Words like mitigate, reduce, alleviate, and eliminate may appear similar in an answer set, but they are not interchangeable.

If a passage says a problem became less severe, the best answer may be mitigate.

If the problem disappeared completely, you need a stronger word.

💬 Your turn:
Can you use mitigate in your own sentence?

Drop your sentence below—and save this word for your next SAT practice session. 📌
