Critiacl reading applies to non-fiction writing in which the author puts forth a position
or seeks to make a statement Critical reading is active reading. It involves more than just
understanding what an author is saying. Critial reading involves questioning and evaluating
what the author is saying,and forming your own opinions about what the author is saying. Here
are the things you should do to be a critical reader.
Consider the context of what is written. You may be reading something that was written
by an author from a different cultural context that yours. Or,you may be reading something
written some time ago in a different time context thay yours. In either case,you must recognize
and take into account any differnces between byour values and sttitudes and those represented
by the author.
Question assertions made by the author. Don't accept what is written at face value.
Before accepting what is written,be certain that the author provides sufficient support for any
assertions made. Look for facts examples and statistics that provide support. Also,look to see if
the author has integrated the work of authorities.
Compare what is written with other written work on the subject. Look to see that what is
written is consistent with what others have written about the subject. If there are inconsistencies,
carefully evaluate the support the author provides for the inconsistencies.
Analyze assumptions made by the author. Assumptions are whatever the author must
believe is true in order to make assertions. In many cases the author's assumptions are not
directly stated. This means you must read carefully in order to identify any assumption. Once
you identify an assumption you must decide whether or not the assumption is valid.
Evaluate the sources the author uses. In doing this, be certain. that the sources are
credible. For example,Einstein is a creadbile source if the author is writhing about landmark
achievements in physics. Also be certain that the sources are relevant. Einstein is not a relevant
sourve when the subject is poetry. Finally,if the author is writing about a subject in its currnet
state,be sure that the sources are current. For example,studies done by Einstein in the early
20th century may not be appropriate if the writer is discussing the current state of knowledge in
physics.
Identify any possible author bias. A written discussion of American politics will likey
look considerably different depending on whether the writer is a Democrat or a Republican.
What is written may very well reflect a biased position. You need to take this possible bias into
account when reading what the author has written. That is,take what is written with"algrain of
salt."
By being a critical reader,you will become better informed and may change your views as
appropriate.
