Developmental Reading (for Libra Program)

As the complement to English 1301, English 1399 is a reading course designed to help students develop strategies for improving comprehension through discussions of and written responses to cross-disciplinary texts. Students will learn to become active readers, to summarize and explain their understanding of ideas, and to support their analyses with appropriate references to the readings. By the end of the semester, students will have acquired strategies for improving their reading speed and their close reading skills, and for performing successfully on the CUNY/ACT reading test.
