College Reading

You already know how to read. You would not have gotten this far without reading skills.

But just like everything else, your skill at reading, kinds of reading that you are expected to read, and more continue to develop throughout your life.  Reading is much more than just translating letters to words and sentences.  There is a lot of reading in college, and you need to know what’s expected and how to master it.

Note taking

Reading is closely related to other learning topics. These include:

• Note taking
• Vocabulary
• Writing
• Planning (and not procrastinating)

While the selections here focus on reading, they almost all have material on these other topics, and these are well worth exploring. You can also explore these topics in more depth by participating in the academic coaching program offered at Lehman.
