Integrated Reading and Writing

This course fully integrates reading and writing. 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.
