Developmental Reading is a course designed to help refine a student's reading skills in order to enhance college success. The course curriculum develops general reading skills in addition to content specific reading strategies. All examinations will be application based and will require the application of reading strategies presented throughout the course.
Individual assistance is available by appointment with the instructor.
Each student must complete the Nelson Denny Reading Test at the beginning and end of the semester for the purpose of indexing overall reading growth. A percentage grade will be assigned to growth achieved between the pre-test and post test. Class attendance is vital for success in the course. Developmental Reading is covered by the Freshman Attendance Policy. Absences are not judged as excused or unexcused.
