The study examined 513 records to determine if participation in a developmental reading course in a community college improved achievement and persistence for African American college students. Results discuss the positive relationship of overall and third semester achievement to enrollment in a developmental reading course as shown in the student QPA. Neither enrollment in a developmental reading course nor reading level was related to persistence as measured by the number of semesters enrolled in college.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dissertation.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47587756114071,"sku":"9781581123029","price":2237.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781581123029.webp?v=1774967197","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/developmental-reading-achievement-and-persistence-of-african-american-community-college-students-9781581123029","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
