    READING STRATEGIES FOR

    CRITICAL THINKING
    Critical thinking requires critical reading to develop
    because a huge part of you is influenced by what
    you read and hear. Up to 80% of knowledge is
    learned through the eyes, and reading plays the
    biggest role

    IMPROVE YOUR
    VOCABULARY
    Let’s start with the first strategy!

    are unfamiliar with.
    Keep a vocabulary journal

    MIND YOUR READING
    COMPREHENSION SKILLS
    5
    PRACTICAL TIPS

    compensate for your comprehension level.
    Use a line guide

    3
    IMPROVE YOUR
    READING SPEED
    7
    PRACTICAL TIPS

    Reading pace depends on the type of material you


    are reading and your goal.
    Proactively focus on 2-4 words at a time instead of
    fixating on a per word reading basis.
    Read with your eyes and mind.
    Practice makes perfect.

    8
    PRACTICAL TIPS

    Force yourself to read at a faster rate for short


    periods of time.
    Go at a speed that is uncomfortable but you
    are still comprehending the material.
    Avoid rereading as much as possible.
    You should never read at a rate that is slower
    than your average rate.
