Finding ways to help community college students overcome their difficulties learning new concepts from content area readings prompted this study. Two surveys, one for students and one for instructors, were used to gather information on the students as motivated, strategic, and comprehending readers. Information on instructional methods was also collected. Analysis of the students' and instructors' responses indicated some agreement and some discrepancy between the students' perceptions of themselves as readers, and the instructors' perceptions of their students as readers. The identification of salient patterns in the responses from both groups lead to recommendations for the design of classroom programs effective in helping students become independent synthesizers, organizers, interpreters, and appliers of information gained from content area readings.
