READING |
Reading is
essential to all levels of academics and the business world. As
such, the Teaching and Learning Center endeavors
to work with students and their instructors to build reading proficiency.
One of our best resources is the computer program titled SkillsTutor.
This program is available on any computer, on or off campus, through the
internet. Please come to the Teaching and Learning Center and
receive your password and ID. At that time, a staff member will
show you how to use SkillsTutor.
In addition to SkillsTutor, the Teaching and Learning Center provides
the following internet links on reading. You may also want
