Critical Reading: Analyze, Interpret and Evaluate

Critical reading involves analyzing, interpreting, and sometimes evaluating a text. It requires using critical thinking skills to question both the content of the text and one's own understanding of it. The purpose of critical reading is to form judgements about how a text works, rather than just getting a basic understanding of what it says. To prepare, one should reflect on their own perspectives and knowledge, understand the context and main ideas of the text, and clarify any confusing parts. The process involves analyzing the text, interpreting its meaning and significance, and evaluating aspects of it.
