Developmental Reading

Reading instruction prepares students for everyday life and for the future they envision in our
society. Our goal is to instill in teachers the importance of reading instruction to assist children
to learn with a variety of methods and materials.

Overview

Our program prepares teachers as a Reading Specialist K-12 (Iowa Endorsement 176). The
courses develop skills, knowledge and competencies needed for supervisory, curricular, and
remedial teaching positions in reading, and also builds background for students who want to
specialize in the area and eventually teach and/or conduct research at a college/university.

The Developmental Reading and English program provides students with an
opportunity to strengthen their skills in reading comprehension, grammar, writing,
and critical thinking. Students take Developmental Reading and English in order to
prepare for credit level English, and all courses with a reading prerequisite at the
college. The Developmental Reading and English program also emphasizes study
and test-taking strategies, and computer laboratory skills - all important for success
in college.

Many students graduate from high school without adequate reading-comprehension and
vocabulary skills. Developmental reading programs provide additional training and
experience so students can make the most of reading assignments in later courses.
Sometimes also called remedial reading programs, they are important at many colleges,
particularly community colleges with open-admission policies. Without these programs,
some students would be unable to proceed through college courses that requi re
substantial amounts of reading and could not obtain degrees.

A developmental reading program not only allows students to improve their individual
skills, but also provides a college with capable students who can meet the challenges of
all their courses. Many colleges with developmental reading programs test students
before and after their participation in the program to determine how well the program is
working and how it might be improved to better aid students' academic achievement.
