CRITICAL READING

AS A FORM OF
REASONING
READING

• IS THE PROCESS IN WHICH THE INFORMATION


FROM THE TEXT AND THE KNOWLEDGE
POSSESSED BY THE READER GET TOGETHER TO
PRODUCE MEANING.

• IS THE PROCESS OF INTERPRETING AND


UNDERSTANDING WRITTEN OR PRINTED TEXT. IT
INVOLVES RECOGNIZING WORDS,
COMPREHENDING THEIR MEANINGS, AND
MAKING SENSE OF THE OVERALL MESSAGE.
CRITICAL READING
• IS NOT PLAIN READING. IT IS AN ACADEMIC SKILL.

• It is a careful, thorough, thoughtful and active reading


strategy. It goes deeper and evaluates.

• IS THE PROCESS OF ACTIVELY ANALYZING,


EVALUATING, AND INTERPRETING A TEXT BEYOND
JUST UNDERSTANDING ITS SURFACE MEANING. IT
INVOLVES QUESTIONING THE AUTHOR'S
ARGUMENTS, IDENTIFYING BIASES, AND
ASSESSING THE VALIDITY OF EVIDENCE
CRITICAL READING IS IMPORTANT IN COMPREHENDING
TEXTS AND EVEN RESPONDING TO THEM.

ONE MAJOR PURPOSE OF CRITICAL READING


IS TO FORM REASONING.
REASONING
• IT IS LOGICAL THINKING.

• IT IS A THINKING THAT ALL HAS REASON AS IN CAUSE


AND EFFECT, PATTERN, ETC.

• IT IS AN ACT OF GIVING STATEMENT FOR JUSTIFICATION


AND EXPLANATION.

• THIS MEANS THAT CRITICAL READING CAN BE USED TO


FORMULATE ARGUMENTS OR REASONS IN RESPONSE TO
WHAT READERS READ.
CRITICAL READING SKILLS

• DISTINGUISHING FACT AND OPINION

• Identifying the author’s purpose

• Making Inferences

• Recognizing the Author’s Tone

• Recognizing Persuasive Techniques


DISTUINGUISHING FACT AND OPINION
• INVOLVES DISCERNING THE OBJECTIVE INFORMATION SUPPORTED BY EVIDENCE FROM SUBJECTIVE

STATEMENTS BASED ON PERSONAL BELIEFS OR FEELINGS.

• IT REQUIRES ANALYZING THE LANGUAGE USED, IDENTIFYING VERIFIABLE DATA OR LOGICAL REASONING

BEHIND A CLAIM TO DETERMINE IF IT CAN BE PROVEN OR DISPROVEN, AND RECOGNIZING WHEN AN

ASSERTION IS BASED ON AN INDIVIDUAL'S PERSPECTIVE OR INTERPRETATION.

• DEVELOPING THIS SKILL ENABLES READERS TO ASSESS THE CREDIBILITY AND RELIABILITY OF

INFORMATION, MAKE INFORMED JUDGMENTS, AND CRITICALLY EVALUATE ARGUMENTS OR CLAIMS

PRESENTED IN VARIOUS CONTEXTS.


IDENTIFYING THE AUTHOR’S PURPOSE
• INVOLVES understanding the underlying intention or objective of a written text.

• It requires analyzing the tone, language, and structure of the writing to determine whether the author aims to

inform, persuade, entertain, or express an opinion.

• By recognizing the author's purpose, readers can better grasp the intended message and context of the text, evaluate

the credibility of the information presented, and engage in a more nuanced and critical interpretation of the content.
MAKING INFERENCES
• MAKING INFERENCES IS A CRITICAL READING SKILL THAT INVOLVES DRAWING LOGICAL CONCLUSIONS OR

PREDICTIONS BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN A TEXT, EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT EXPLICITLY

STATED.

• IT REQUIRES ANALYZING THE AVAILABLE EVIDENCE, IDENTIFYING IMPLICIT MEANINGS, AND USING

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OR CONTEXT CLUES TO FILL IN GAPS OR MAKE EDUCATED GUESSES ABOUT THE

INTENDED MESSAGE. BY MAKING INFERENCES, READERS CAN DEEPEN THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THE

TEXT, UNCOVER UNDERLYING THEMES OR MOTIVES, AND CONNECT DISPARATE PIECES OF INFORMATION.

THIS SKILL ENHANCES CRITICAL THINKING ABILITIES, ENCOURAGES ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE
RECOGNIZING AUTHOR’S TONE
• INVOLVES understanding the attitude or emotional stance of the author towards the subject matter or

audience.

• It requires analyzing the choice of words, sentence structure, and rhetorical devices used in the text to discern

whether the author's tone is objective, persuasive, humorous, critical, or any other characteristic. By

recognizing the author's tone, readers can grasp the intended meaning behind the words, evaluate the author's

perspective, and interpret the underlying message accurately. This skill allows readers to engage with the text more

deeply, appreciate the nuances of the author's communication, and critically assess the overall impact and

effectiveness of the writing.


RECOGNIZING PERSUASIVE TECHNIQUES
• Involves identifying and understanding the strategies employed by an author to influence or sway the reader's

opinion or behavior.

• It requires analyzing the use of emotional appeals, logical reasoning, rhetorical devices, and persuasive

language to persuade, convince, or manipulate the audience. By recognizing persuasive techniques, readers can

become more aware of the author's intentions, assess the validity and strength of the argument being presented,

and critically evaluate the effectiveness of the persuasive tactics employed. This skill enables readers to develop a

more discerning and informed approach to reading, empowering them to make independent judgments and resist being

unduly influenced by persuasive rhetoric.
