Unit 1: Active Reading
You will begin this course by reviewing the benefits of
active reading. Successful students--and successful readers--approach reading
with strategies to help them get the most out of their reading. These students
actively look for main ideas and major themes, words they do not understand,
and the purpose (why the piece was written) of what they are reading. In this
unit, we will cover strategies to improve your active reading skills. Active
reading will help you increase reading comprehension and will ensure that you
retain the content. This unit will also cover creating a basic sentence and
prewriting techniques to help improve your writing.
Completing this unit should take you approximately 14 hours.
