If you are able to read, perhaps in a different language, and you want to read English more easily, Dare to Read is the class for you. In addition to developing practices to improve your reading, fluency, and comprehension skills, you will also learn more about the process of reading and how your brain interacts with text to generate meaning.
Dare to Read consists of four 1-hour in-person sessions with the option of individualized Zoom coaching sessions with the instructor after the class. The class is presented by Wade McJacobs, whose book, Dare to Read: Improving Your Reading Speed and Skills, is not required for this class although it may be helpful.
Registration is required for all four classes and attendance will be limited to 15 students. Non-English speakers with a reading proficiency at or above an intermediate level are also encouraged to sign up.
