The “College Prep Book Lists” are long and daunting – which applies to SAT prep too. This ongoing class is based on Mortimer Adler’s “How to Read a Book” method. The environment is for both speedy readers as well as those who hate reading.
Class experience
The Princeton Review is one of many that specializes in SAT preparation. They report that 65% of the SAT focuses on reading and writing skills. This ongoing class will flesh out both aspects tying them together. Priorities will be to start with reading, comprehension, and critical thinking, then move to written summaries and then focus on vocabulary and grammar. Classes will combine 3 segment elements: 1/3 teaching instruction focused on the topic/theme, 1/3 student examples, and 1/3 class...
1. Learn the Adler technique to identify the 3 main points (non-story-based books) in 30 minutes. 2. Chart books read with major elements. 3. Practice oral book reports using the Adler Method. 4. Grasp how to read various genres and present summaries at the college level.
I bring 35 years of teaching of which half of these I was a very challenged reader, and the other half has focused on teaching reading and comprehension with students both young and old. I dropped out of college after 2 years because of my significant reading and comprehension problem. It was many years later that I read Adler’s book which was on my son’s homeschool reading list. It revolutionized both my reading and learning 20 years ago. Since then, I’ve read an average of 3 books a week and can recall 1-2 of the main points of most of those books because of this reading technique.
