REA011 Basic Reading

Basic Reading is designed to help students improve their vocabulary and reading comprehension. The course helps the student develop the skills, habits and attitudes that will result in more effective reading and studying. Topics include word analysis, vocabulary development, comprehension techniques and study habits. Basic Reading must be followed by REA021 College Reading to complete the developmental reading sequence. PLEASE NOTE: This course is a developmental course and DOES NOT carry graduation credit. It is NOT usually transferable. Since developmental courses are mandated, students who do not meet the exit criteria of a grade of C or higher for reading will be required to repeat them.
