This course is designed to teach students how to learn more systematically the meanings of new words.

Students who have completed one or more semesters of developmental reading and scored above the developmental reading comprehension level may fulfill the developmental reading requirements by earning a C or better in this course. This course is also open to all students for enrichment if the students’ placement or test scores are above the developmental reading levels.
