ACR BLIS95 — BLIIS Reading
This course provides a supportive environment in which students practice the reading habits needed in college, including skimming, scanning, paraphrasing, clarifying, questioning, recognizing what is implied, and use of evidence. Reading is followed by discussion so students can check their comprehension after spending intensive time reading a rich variety of fiction and nonfiction. BLIIS offers the opportunity to improve both skills and confidence before entering credit-bearing college courses. This course takes an integrated approach to reading and writing, emphasizing write-to-learn strategies; therefore the course must be taken concurrently with ESL BLIS 95. Successful completion of this course indicates a passing score on the ACT exam and is equivalent to successful completion of ACR 95.
