In most public schools, reading instruction often ends in the 5th or 6th grade. The reading skills that were adequate for high school classes will not suffice for the amount of reading required at the college level. A chapter in an average college textbook is often at least 50 pages in length! Many college instructors assign two or more chapters of reading per week. Don't
wait until your reading assignments overwhelm you!
