    Critical reading involves actively engaging with a text to understand the author's main points and argument. It is an extension of critical thinking, which includes understanding relationships between ideas, evaluating evidence, and reflecting on one's own beliefs. Effective critical readers employ various strategies such as annotating, outlining, summarizing, paraphrasing, comparing/contrasting, and evaluating arguments to deeply analyze a text. The SQ3R method provides a framework for critical reading through surveying, questioning, reading, reciting, and reviewing the material.

     being focused on the intention or


    the argument being presented in the
    material
    Critical thinking
     ability to think clearly and
    rationally

     ability to understand the


    relation of ideas presented
    Characteristics of a critical
    thinker:
    1. Understands the relation of one idea to
    another

    2. Determines the importance and relevance of


    ideas and arguments

    3. Recognizes, builds and appraises arguments

    4. Identifies inconsistencies and errors in

    Characteristics of a critical
    thinker:
    5. Approaches problems in a consistent and
    systematic way

    6. Reflects on the justification of his own


    assumptions, beliefs and values
    CRITICAL READING
    STRATEGIES
    Annotating

    Underlining or highlighting the


    important ideas or points in a text like
    thesis statement, topic sentence,
    supporting details, body of the
    material and the conclusion.
    Contextual Reading

    A reader studies the author of the text,


    the time or period when the author
    wrote it and the important events that
    occurred during the time the text was
    written.
    Outlining

    Identifying the main and supporting


    ideas of the text. This strategy reveals
    the basic structure of the text,
    therefore helping the reader analyze
    the text better.
    Summarizing

    Condensing or writing of a material in


    the reader’s own words.
    Paraphrasing

    Putting or writing a text in your own


    words but maintaining the original
    information as given by the author.
    Comparing
    and
    Contrasting

    Naming the similarities and differences


    of two or more ideas or information.
    Evaluating an
    Argument
    S/he determines if the evidence is
    strong and valid. At the same time, she
    recognizes any weak or negative points
    that there are in the evidence or
    argument.
    Reflecting on
    Challenges to your
    Beliefs and Values

    In this strategy, the reading materials


    affect your emotions.
    Looking for
    Patterns of
    Opposition
    Some writers present opposing issues
    or hints and these are what a critical
    reader or thinker may use in his or her
    analysis of the text.
    Judging the
    Writer’s Credibility

    You provide a series of questions to


    check if the writer of the text is
    credible enough to get your approval
    of what s/he has written.
    Exploring the
    Figurative Language

    Language that uses words or


    expressions with a meaning different
    from the literal interpretation.
    Recognizing
    Emotional Manipulation

    In this strategy, the reader is suspicious


    and cautious when the writer uses
    emotionally loaded words, writes very
    harsh and abusive things about or
    against someone or something or
    maligns or insults another.
