Helping Students Read Difficult Text

Who Reads Difficult Text ?

Community college teachers hear much about "Basic Skills," "Best Practices," "Contemplative Pedagogy," "Creative Teaching," "Identifying Outcomes," "Intentional Learning," "Retention," "Transforming Higher Education," "Emergent Readers" ... What about the EMERGENCY in reading?

All of these difficulties we face in educating and graduating our students are linked to the difficulty our students encounter reading their course textbooks.

You are invited to explore this site and discover some strategies through which students can learn to master the most challenging material in their classroom texts and be more successful as independent readers.
