Prerequisite: reading placement test score at Level IV. The purpose of the course is to instruct students in techniques for grasping sentence and paragraph meaning.

The course will focus on increasing reading comprehension. It will lead students through increasingly complex reading passages to help them progress from literal meanings toward critical reading and thinking. Further, it will provide opportunities, through reading, to understand important ideas and values in American life. Three contact hours.
