Welcome!


Welcome to the new sustained reading class and lab at Divine Word College. My goal as the instructor of the class is to help foster a love of reading while giving you the opportunity to improve your reading ability in English.


We'll do that with a variety of reading materials: graded readers, some with audio cds to accompany them; electronic sources of text and audio support; trips to the library and reading room to learn about the wide assortment of materials available there and much more.


This will be a low stress environment. The only tests we'll have are those to place you in the right reading level in our graded reading program and small quizzes checking your understanding and helping you practice what you've learned. You'll pass the class if you read. The only failure possible is if you fail to participate.


That said, let's have some fun this semester!


And read!
