Course Description:
This course is targeted for grade 12 students whose test scores on the Postsecondary
Educational Readiness Test are below the established cut scores, indicating that they are not "college-
ready" in reading. This course incorporates reading and analysis of informational selections to develop
critical reading skills necessary for success in college courses. This course prepares students for
successful completion of Florida college English language arts courses requiring extensive grade-level
reading. The benchmarks reflect the Florida College Competencies necessary for entry-level college
courses and are also related to the College and Career Readiness (CCR) anchor standards, the exit
stadards of Florida’s K
-12 Common Core standards.
 
General Notes:
The content should include, but not be limited to, the following:
demonstrating successful reading of argument, including recognizing bias and supporting details;
demonstrating successful reading of fact and opinion, including recognizing inferences and main ideas;
demonstrating knowledge of a variety of organizational patterns and their relationships in the
comprehension of text, including recognizing purpose and tone of informational reading; and
demonstrating successful understanding of vocabulary in context.
 
Reading Informational Text

retain or further develop skills and understandings mastered in preceding grades, and work steadily
toward meeting the more general expectations described by the CCR anchor standards.
