    Critical Reading

    Uploaded by

    Shelton Lyndon Cemanes
    Critical reading involves actively evaluating a text by judging claims and information, seeking definitions, demanding proof, and questioning assumptions. It is done to determine what is important, logical, or right. A good critical reader asks questions before, during, and after reading, bases judgments on evidence, re-reads unclear sections, reads at a comfortable pace, and thinks independently.
