SAT curriculum

A teacher-led SAT curriculum that raises scores by deepening ELA and math skills.

Built directly into the classes teachers already teach, not around teaching to the test.

“When they received their SAT scores last year, they said ‘ChalkTalk!’ Almost all of them improved by at least 100 points; we exceeded national, state, and local averages.”

How it works

Five components, one unified instructional approach.

Everything a teacher needs to run SAT-aligned instruction without building it from scratch.

Teacher-led lessons

Whole-group SAT-aligned materials teachers can present directly.

Small group activities

Group students automatically by performance or manually for discussion and collaborative practice.

Adaptive practice

Give every student a personalized practice path based on placement and ongoing performance.

Mock tests + strategies

Use practice exams modeled on SAT format and timing while building pacing, elimination, and format familiarity.

Reporting

See skill-level reports showing exactly where each student and class stand.

Data-driven instruction

Know exactly where to focus instruction.

ChalkTalk ranks standards by each class’s skill gap and how heavily they appear on the SAT, helping teachers put instructional time where it matters most.

SAT Skill Level Report by Lesson: Summary by Benchmark

How to use: This report highlights lessons using a Return on Instruction score that combines the class’s average skill level with the number of questions on the exam. Higher ROI indicates a larger opportunity for focused instruction.

#	Subject	Topic	Avg. skill level	Questions on exam	Return on Instruction (ROI)
1	SAT Reading & Writing	Command of Evidence	1.4	4–6	94%
2	SAT Math	Linear Equations, One Variable	1.6	3–5	89%
3	SAT Reading & Writing	Words in Context	1.9	3–4	71%
4	SAT Math	Systems of Equations	2.0	2–3	64%
5	SAT Reading & Writing	Boundaries (Punctuation)	2.6	2–3	38%
6	SAT Math	Central Ideas & Details	2.8	1–2	22%

Built for existing pathways

Integrate SAT prep into existing course codes.

ChalkTalk can support SAT preparation within existing mathematics and English course structures, helping districts build college readiness into the regular school day.

Examples of existing courses ChalkTalk partners have integrated SAT prep into:

IR4

Extend reading intervention through SAT-aligned passages, comprehension, analysis, and English-conventions practice in Intensive Reading 4.

Math Models

Embed SAT mathematics readiness into real-world modeling, personal finance, data, algebraic, graphical, and geometric problem solving.

ENG III

Build SAT English and reading readiness through English III grammar, vocabulary, research, and evidence-based writing instruction.

Two flexible models

Fits your schedule, your way.

Both SAT options include the same core materials. The difference is how much class time you give them.

Option A

Deeper Instruction

Accelerated, higher-impact results

Primary instruction: 3–5 days per week, 20–45 minutes per day

Covers standards for selected courses, with walk-through examples drawn from SAT-style questions built into daily learning.

Every implementation includes

Ready-to-use lesson plans and slides
Adaptive practice and study videos
Printables and online activities
Built-in progress monitoring
Professional development and data coaching
Pacing guides

Option B

Bell-Ringers & Bootcamp

Strong impact with minimal lift

5–10 minute warm-ups with sample SAT questions that compound into durable skill growth.

30–45 minute sessions for 2–3 weeks before test day, combining strategy lessons and adaptive practice.
