Critical readers seek knowledge; they do not “rewrite” a work to suit their own personalities. Your task as an enlightened critical reader is to read what is on the page, giving the writer a fair chance to develop ideas and allowing yourself to reflect thoughtfully, objectively, on the text.

The aim of critical reading is not to find fault, but to assess the strength of the evidence and the argument. It is just as useful to conclude that a study, or an article, presents very strong evidence and a well-reasoned argument, as it is to identify the studies or articles that are weak.

To read critically, you must think critically. This involves analysis, interpretation, and evaluation.

These three steps or modes of analysis are reflected in three types of reading and discussion:

• What a text says – restatement.
• What a text does – description.
• What a text means – interpretation .
