Developmental Education: Reading Competencies

Required Courses

All courses in the sequence are in the prerequisite hierarchy leading to ENG 111 Expository Writing. 

RED 070 Essential Reading Skills

RED 080 Intro to College Reading

RED 090 Improved College Reading

If a college chooses to combine courses, all competencies for the courses being combined must be addressed by the combined course.

Example: A college may determine that the majority of its students place into RED 080 or RED 090.  If the college decides to not offer RED 070, then the RED 080 by default becomes a combined RED 070/080 and thus must address and test for mastery of the RED 070 competencies, as well as the RED 080 competencies.
