Developmental Studies

Reading and Writing Developmental Studies classes focus on improving students' basic reading and writing skills. In Developmental Reading, emphasis is placed on learning the reading skills required for college-level reading assignments. In Developmental Writing classes, emphasis is placed upon understanding the writing process and upon reviewing grammar. Our Advanced Integrated Reading and Writing courses integrates preparation in basic reading skills with basic skills in writing a variety of academic essays. All DS English classes prepare students for success in both the academic and work environments.
