The Reading Lab provides intervention to students who scored lower on standardized testing for admission or have a GPA below 2.0. The lab also serves all students who may have a reading need. The Lab is also utilized by other departments to prepare students for the testing they need to pass to demonstrate readiness and proficiency for 100 to 400 level courses required for a four-year degree.
In the Reading Lab students are taught techniques and strategies that promote scholastic improvement for their success in college and beyond. Students increase their academic proficiency in diverse reading environments using everyday vocabulary, by practicing reflective thinking and responding, and by reading widely. The strategies enable them to read more, to read with better speed and comprehension, and to integrate knowledge and understanding of the connections between college courses through reading. The Reading Lab is located on the 2nd floor of Cunningham Hall. Our goal is to help all Oakwood University students to become proficient and excited about reading at the college level.
