Basic Reading and Writing builds a solid foundation around core aspects of the writing process: critical reading; methodical writing; research and documentation; practical grammar and punctuation. An optional module introduces core principles for college success that help students understand and develop good habits to improve their performance in this and other college courses. As the first in a three-course sequence that culminates in\u00a0Composition I<\/em>\u00a0(college-level composition), Basic Reading and Writing focuses on helping students identify and apply foundational concepts and skills in reading and writing. Course content may be used for standard instruction or diagnostically to discover and address gaps in student understanding\/skill.<\/p>\r\n

This course was developed by Lumen Learning in conjunction with Cerritos College and incorporates material from multiple open sources.<\/p>\r\nAcknowledgments<\/strong>\r\nThis book has benefited from the contributions of many people, including Charles\u00a0Burometto and Juan Lebron.\r\n

About Lumen<\/h2>\r\nLumen Learning\u2019s mission is to make great learning opportunities available to all students, regardless of socioeconomic background.\r\n\r\nWe do this by using open educational resources (OER) to create well-designed and low-cost course materials that replace expensive textbooks. Because learning is about more than affordability and access, we also apply learning science insights and efficacy research to develop learning activities that are engineered to improve subject mastery, course completion and retention.\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019d like to connect with us to learn more about adopting this course, please\u00a0Contact Us<\/a>.\r\n\r\nYou can also\u00a0make an appointment<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0OER Office Hours<\/a>\u00a0to connect virtually with a live Lumen expert about any question you may have.\r\n
