Overview
Most university courses require a great deal of reading and students with well-developed reading skills find it easier to cope with the demands of higher education.
The Reading Development Centre provides reading enrichment with a computerised reading program that builds reading fluency (learning to read at a fast pace while maintaining excellent comprehension). The Reading Development Centre administers the reading development component of ALDA/E 112/122 – a compulsory academic literacy module for all first-year students and students registering at the University for the first time.
Reading development is also available to senior students who want to brush up on their reading proficiency.
