Hi all, As most of us know, students in Intro Psychology and other lower-division PSY courses often don’t have the reading skills to comprehend written course material at the level required to be successful.
Three employees in the Writing Center at my college—Jennifer Watson, Lisa Burns, and Deanna Kalcich—have recently put together an online teaching and learning resource titled “Improving Reading Comprehension in the PSY Classroom” ( http://writingcenter.scottsdalecc.libguides.com/ReadingComprehension ). The menu for the page includes the following categories: Resources—a listing of online and print resources. Best Practices for Instructors—information and suggested assignments/activities designed to help students learn to read better (i.e., comprehend more of what they read in our classes). Best Practices for Students—information and suggested strategies that students can use to read better.. I've been looking through the material on the site today, and I think it's an excellent resource for instructors and students of psychology.
