    Critical reading is an active process that involves questioning and analyzing a text to discover an author's perspective. It requires engaging with a text by evaluating an author's arguments, assumptions and whether you agree with their views. To think critically, readers must be able to pose questions about a text, analyze problems from multiple perspectives, gather relevant information, and imagine alternative solutions by constructing arguments for and against different views.

    21st century learning because
    various texts are readily
    accessible online, a critical mind
    is required in order to evaluate
    texts so you will not just believe all
    the available information
    Gary Goshgarian:

    Quote:
    “Critical reading is an active
    process of discovery”

    PROCESS OF DISCOVERY
    evaluate author’s ideas
    strengths and weaknesses
    of the text
    converse with the author,
    author’s assumptions
    Gary Goshgarian:
    Quote:
    “Critical reading is an active
    process of discovery”
    Critical reading is an active process of
    discovery because you/we discover an author’s
    view on a subject, you enter into a dialogue
    with the author or you can decide if you agree
    or disagree with the author’s view.
    What is Critical Reading
    involves scrutinizing any information that
    you read or hear. Means not easily
    believing information offered to you by a
    text. “Read not to contradict and confute;
    nor to believe and take for granted; nor to
    find talk and discourse; but to weigh and
    consider” as Francis Bacon stated in The
    Essays.
    Critical Reading
    is an active process of discovery because
    when you read critically, you are not just
    receiving information but also making an
    interaction with the writer. The interaction
    happens when you question the writer’s
    claims and assertions and when you
    comment on the writer’s ideas.
    Imagine that you are reading a
    magazine and you see the following
    statements:
    A. Girls most likely do well in
    academics during high school years
    but boys get ahead of them in
    college?
    B. Female teenagers are more
    concerned with their physical
    appearance than male teenagers?
    Ramage, Bean, and Johnson (2006)
    identified the following
    requirements in critical thinking:

    1. The ability to pose


    problematic questions.
    2. The ability to analyze a
    problem in all its dimensions.
    Ramage, Bean, and Johnson (2006)
    identified the following
    requirements in critical thinking:

    3. The ability to find,


    gather, and interpret data,
    facts, and other information
    relevant to the problem
    Ramage, Bean, and Johnson (2006)
    identified the following
    requirements in critical thinking:
    4. The ability to imagine
    alternative solutions to the
    problem, to see different ways
    in which the question might be
    answered and different
    perspectives for viewing it.
    Ramage, Bean, and Johnson (2006)
    identified the following
    requirements in critical thinking:
    5. The ability to analyze competing
    approaches and answers, to
    construct arguments for and against
    alternatives, and to choose the best
    solution in the light of values,
    objectives, and other criteria that
    you determine and articulate.
    Ramage, Bean, and Johnson (2006)
    identified the following
    requirements in critical thinking:
    6.The ability to write an
    effective argument
    justifying your choice while
    acknowledging counter-
    arguments.
    The following are some suggested
    ways to help you become a critical
    reader :
    1. Annotate what you read-
    One of the ways to interact
    with the writer is to write on
    the text. You can underline,
    circle, or highlight words,
    phrases, or sentences that
    contain important details.
    The following are some suggested
    ways to help you become a critical
    reader :
    2. Outline the text- In order to
    fully engage in a dialogue with the
    text or with the writer of the text,
    you need to identify the main
    points of the writer and list them
    down so you can also identify the
    ideas that the writer has raised to
    support his/her stand.
    The following are some suggested
    ways to help you become a critical
    reader :
    3. Summarize the text- Get
    the main points of the text
    you are reading and write its
    gist in your own words.
    The following are some suggested
    ways to help you become a critical
    reader :
    4. Evaluate the text- The most
    challenging part in critical reading
    is the process of evaluating what
    you are reading. This is the point
    where the other three techniques
    annotating, outlining, summarizing-
    will be helpful.
