Developing Reading Skills

Abstract

Reading 90-115 at Mt Hood Community College (MHCC) is an accelerated Reading course that combines Reading 90, a 5-credit Reading and Study Skills course, with a Reading 115, a Reading for College Success course. The two courses are combined so that students can move through two required remedial courses and into college-level courses in one term. It has been offered at MHCC as either a face-to-face course, or as an online course for six years. This course is designed to be taught over a 10-week term, with the first five weeks focused on study skills and basic textbook reading, and the last five weeks focused on higher level skills.
