Partly, that means you digest the content you just read. Reading not only refers to obtaining information but also includes understanding the author's ideas. So we should try to evaluate what we learn from reading. Glad to share it with you.
Critical reading means that a reader applies certain processes, models, questions, and theories that result in enhanced clarity and comprehension. There is more involved, both in effort and understanding, in a critical reading than in a mere "skimming" of the text. What is the difference? If a reader "skims" the text, superficial characteristics and information are as far as the reader goes. A critical reading gets at "deep structure" (if there is such a thing apart from the superficial text!), that is, logical consistency, tone, organization, and a number of other very important sounding terms.
To read critically, you must think critically. Critical thinking involves several related mental processess: analysis, interpretation and evaluation. Eah of these thinking processes help you to question the text in different ways.
