In order to read critically, you must read the material at least twice. The first time, get a grasp of what is going on in the passage. Whether it is a chapter in a novel or a chapter in a text book, this is a good idea. Make a mental note of the main point of the text and any conclusions that may have been reached in the text. Also, ask yourself if the text is based on fact, fiction, or is it simply beliefs that the author holds. If something sticks out during the first reading, note it in the margin or with a page marker. Then, when you reread the material, you will be able to read deeper into the text. A good idea is to watch out for word choice to get a feel for what the mood of the piece is. Analyze words that stick out in the reading and ask why the author chose that word. After the second reading, make sure to reassess the conclusion. Is it still the same as you thought it was before?
When you read critically, you are actively engaging with the text by questioning, analyzing, and evaluating the content. You aim to understand the author's argument, identify biases or assumptions, and assess the evidence provided. This requires thinking deeply about the text's structure, language, and underlying message.
