This is the first in a sequence of two reading classes. A grade of “C” or better is required in this class before enrollment in the next level reading class is permitted.

College Reading Strategies is designed for students to further develop general reading skills and college level read-ing strategies with an emphasis on higher levels of reading with vocabulary, comprehension, critical thinking and writing. A grade of “C”or better is required to exit this class.
