College Reading Fast Track: Give Your Students the Reading Skills They Need for Placement Tests and College Success
These are the outcomes from the Reading Development Class I designed and taught at Mesa Community College, built on the same core strategies your students will learn in College Reading Fast-Track:
68% → 87% - Students entered below 68% on reading placement. By the end of my class, they averaged 87% on assignments.
89% - Average score on course assessments — a 21-point gain from where they started.
Only 1% of my students dropped out during their first two years of college. (The national two-year college dropout rate runs 40–60%.)
These results came from a semester-long, in-person developmental reading course with underprepared college students. College Reading Fast-Track puts the same reading strategies, study habits, and metacognitive tools into a self-paced format your high school students can work through before they ever sit for a placement test — so they arrive on campus already reading like a college student.
Your students are walking into college placement tests underprepared — and you already know that practice tests alone are not enough. College Reading Fast-Track gives them the structured skill instruction they actually need, in a format they can work through independently.
This program was built by Dr. Stephanie West, a developmental reading professor at Maricopa Community Colleges, who teaches exactly these students every semester. It is not theory. It is the curriculum that works.
What Your Students Will Learn
College Reading Fast-Track covers five sequential modules designed to take students from foundational reading skills through college-level synthesis:
Every module includes instructional lessons, guided practice, and clear skill checkpoints. Students can work at their own pace — no scheduling required on your end.
