Reading Improvement for College Students.
Beringause, Arthur F.
The CEA Critic, v28 n2 p4-6, Nov 1965
Pre-college remedial courses in reading and writing at Bronx Community College are described. Teachers with experience in high school remedial reading and composition and college composition taught a combined remedial reading-composition course and a control remedial composition course, so that reading improvement could be tested for both classes. A placement examination was used to select students. Typical student weaknesses are described and evaluation of the experimental program is included. An appendix reports on textbooks and curriculum for the experimental class. (AF)
