Grade 9 vocabulary is SAT-facing: Greek and Latin roots, precise synonyms, and words whose tone shifts a sentence. Students use context clues in denser informational prose and track how an academic word such as undermine or substantiate does argument work. Multiple-meaning words still require the sense that fits the sentence.
