Basic Skills

 
  The community college offers an opportunity for students to earn two-year degrees, vocational certificates, or transfer to a four-year institution. However, many students who look to community colleges for these opportunities are deficient in reading to the extent that success in the typical content-area or vocational classroom is improbable. Few content-area or vocational teachers truly understand the reading process and more importantly the little things they can do to facilitate their students' ability to read course materials.

Our workshops provide the content-area and/or vocational teacher with background knowledge about the reading process, appropriate reading comprehension strategies for expository text, and learner-initiated interventions to help the under-prepared student in your classroom succeed. Our workshops focus:
 
 
 
  • on reading as an active meaning-building process rather than passive word recognition
  • beyond the literal to interferential and critical evaluative levels of reading comprehension
  • on comprehension strategies that facilitate help students structure and restructure concepts
  • on fix-it strategies students can implement on their own when their comprehension breaks down
 
  All of this without any significant change to the course content.
