Welcome to Reading with Warren!

Hello and welcome to Academic Reading! I look forward to reading many different texts and building on reading and critical thinking skills with you. In this class, we will learn how to read more critically (intensive), as well as read for pleasure (extensive), while having meaningful discussions about it all.

We will share a reading of the short novel, Anthem, by Ayn Rand. This will be an opportunity for you hear a fluent reading, analyze a challenging text, explore interesting concepts, pick up new vocabulary, and practice using reading skills. After we finish reading this book, you will do a project relating to it.

In addition to this shared reading, you will read a novel of your choice during the semester. There will be a final project based on this text. During our weekly classes, you will also read a variety of texts provided by both your classmates and myself.

Each week, we will be doing exercises in the textbook, Read and Think! A Reading Strategies Course Level 2, by Ken Beatty. We will do activities from the book in class and for homework.
