Opening Doors: Understanding College Reading by Janet Elder introduces a unique approach to enhancing college-level reading skills. This innovative program, offered entirely online, aims to create a personalized learning plan for each student, continuously tailored based on individual progress towards mastery of essential reading competencies. The diagnostic tool evaluates skills ranging from 7th-grade level through advanced college readiness, catering to diverse learners including second-language students, international students, adult learners, and traditional high school graduates. By integrating with either Elder’s NEW WORLDS or Cortina’s OPENING DOORS, which provide printed workbooks focusing on critical reading techniques via close analysis of chapters from top undergraduate texts in Psychology, Sociology, Business, and other disciplines, this comprehensive system supports a holistic development of academic literacy.
