Basic Integrated Reading and Writing

This course fully integrates reading and writing and offers additional academic support. The course will facilitate students' academic learning experiences expected in college-level classes as they develop academic reading skills such as determining the explicit meaning of a text, making logical inferences from a text, and citing specific textual evidence in analytical writing. Writing skills such as composing texts that demonstrate reading comprehension, a clear focus, logically developed ideas, evidence from reading as support, and use of appropriate language that advances the writer's purpose will be emphasized. Student success strategies such as time management are also covered.
