Reading Courses Improve Comprehension and Speed v N l-larwell, lames Reading 'T' 'X i ' l nu' Jackson, Mrs. Twalah U 7 Reading i l' i fi- McCormick, j Mrs. Martha Q' X., Coordinator of Reading Two courses, developmental and advanced reading, are offered in the reading program. Developmental reading is designed to help the student reading below college level im- prove his basic reading skills. Beginning students are given a vocabulary test and the Iowa Silent Reading Test for comprehension. From these tests, students are placed on an individual basis in materials suitable to their reading level and reading needs. This course may be taken for one semester of credit and continued for several more semesters with- out credit. Students taking the advanced reading course, read at an average or above aver- age level. This course aids in improvement of reading techniques and skills involving speed, flexibility, comprehension, vocabulary, and critical reading. Both courses are designed to help the stu- dent learn how to approach textbooks and to condense materials in relation to time. They also teach the student to read critically. ln addition to listening to tapes, students find the reading lab a quiet place to study. l Q S- r we 13, ' YL 557' 'Qin if tx-3 .. 33. ,Sat .
