critical reading

To me critical reading means rather than simply just reading something, but rather take notes and analyze the reading a lot more critically. This allows you to gain a deeper understanding for what you are reading. Reading critically will allow me to deepen my reading understanding and further my education.

The three techniques i find most helpful are, annotation, summarizing, and reading line by line and then going back and rereading it as a whole. I find these most helpful because i had a lot of practice using them in high school. Some of these techniques were not written about in the introduction but i still find them to be incredibly helpful.

I also highlight or underline words i dont understand and go back and figure out what they mean, because otherwise i dont completly understand what im reading.

  1. Great layout, my favorite color is blue so I'm biased. Thanks for breaking up your response into smaller paragraphs, it makes it MUCH easier to read. Also like I said to Vince, though this isn't much of a creative prompt, feel free to branch away from the questions a little bit instead of answering the questions word for word. Oh and I agree on the techniques too. Have an awesome day!
