I used to teach a “how to do college” class to students on academic probation and I have good news!
This problem can be fixed with direct reading instruction at the university level. You have to teach them how to do phonics, how to navigate texts, how to take notes and how to interrogate a text.

I'm happy to share my latest "Bad Ideas About Teaching" column, students shouldn't have to guess or magically discern how to do assignments--they don't owe us some kind of debt. Instead of scarcity, why not lean into generosity? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Educators, what kind of low-stakes assessments do you find effective to check for student engagement with assigned texts? I've used a few different ones over the years: reading responses, critical reflections, major takeaways, etc., but I'm looking for new ideas.
