Developmental Reading (WEU)

This course is founded on a strategic learning approach that involves teaching learners to become independent readers of various types of texts. The goal of such a program is to provide learners with a variety of learning strategies that foster comprehension and vocabulary development that meet the demands of college-level reading. Learners are trained to use active strategies that promote critical thinking such as graphic organizers, concept maps, SQ3R, Cornell Note-Taking, text-marking and annotating, and paraphrasing and summarizing.
