WHAT IS CRITICAL READING?

Reading connects ideas from the page to your mind. It allows

you to be as imaginative as you can. Most people would read for
information or entertainment. Some would read not just to be
informed or entertained but to evaluate and weigh the text
before they agree and accept the text. This type of reading is
called critical reading.
Critical reading is a more active way of unveiling
information and ideas presented by the text. In the
process of unveiling, you must be aware of your
biases and prejudices so that you can honestly
evaluate the text. The steps involved in critical
readingTitleare: analysis, interpretation, and evaluation

 To become a purposeful, active,

into consider ation the
O W following strategies.

1. Monitor Comprehension
It cannot be denied that you do know your limits when it comes
to vocabulary, understanding the important idea/s presented,
connecting ideas to form a logical conclusion, etc. Monitoring
comprehension does not mean merely knowing what your
limitations are. You must be open to enhance your skills by
applying strategies to fix your limitations.
 2. Metacognition
Besides knowing your limitations, you should also be aware of how
you process thinking. Be clear about the purpose of your reading
before starting to read. While
Option 01 reading, be aware of how fast or slow

you read and understand the text. After reading, you try to assess
how much of the text were you able to understand. Try to assess
KEY WORDS
what part made it hard for you to understand and then find a way to
fix this.

Option 03 Option 04

You may use the steps
listed below. It may be
hard at first but by regular
practice, you could be
better.
a. Identify where the
difficulty occurs.
b. Identify what the
difficulty is.
c. Restate the difficult
sentence in your own
words.
d. Look back through the text.

e. Look forward in the text for

information that might help you
resolve the difficulty.
 3. Graphic Organizers

If you are a visual learner, you may use graphic organizers to

make it easy for you to understand the text. Maps, graphs,
frames, clusters, webs, storyboards, and Venn diagrams are
some examples of graphic organizers. Use them to
understand and link concepts.
 4. Answering questions
If you are the student who would speed read a text given
by the teacher because you wanted to get the answers to
the questions posted on the board as soon as you can, then
this strategy will work for you. Asking questions will give
you a purpose for reading critically. You can start by
asking explicit questions first and then move to implicit
questions.
 Four types of questions you may use:

a. Questions found right in the text.

b. Questions based on the recall of facts that are directly

found in the text.

c. Questions where you can make use of what you

already know against what you have learned from the
text.

d. Questions based on your experiences.

 5. RECOGNIZING STORY STRUCTURE

This strategy can be used when you are reading

fiction. You can draft the story structure by
identifying the characters, setting, significant events,
conflict, climax, denouement, and resolution. You
may combine this strategy with graphic organizers.
6. SUMMARIZING

This strategy can be used when writing research. You

determine what is important or what the main idea is in
the text and write it using your own words. After
identifying main ideas, you can start connecting them to
complete your study. Do not forget to eliminate
unnecessary information to avoid confusion.
