Abstract

An alarming number of first year college students are underprepared, and in particular with respect to being ready to read in college. This study explored the factors that predict success on literacy task and early academic success. Specifically, this study explores the extent that foundational skills associated with reading, strategy use, and motivation for reading account for variance in academic reading and success over and above traditionally measures (i.e., ACT, SAT, GPA).

Keyphrases: academic success, comprehension, literacy
