Critical Reading In Practice

This book, Critical Reading in Practice, was written to address the increasing need for instructional materials that support students in developing critical and analytical reading skills within academic contexts. In English Literature studies, reading is not limited to understanding textual meaning, but also involves questioning ideas, interpreting arguments, and recognizing underlying perspectives. This book aims to guide students in approaching texts more thoughtfully and systematically.
The materials in this book are carefully designed to combine theoretical foundations of critical reading with practical application. Each chapter introduces key concepts followed by guided activities and exercises that encourage students to identify main ideas, analyze arguments, evaluate sources, and respond critically to various types of texts. Through this structured approach, students are expected to develop stronger analytical awareness and greater confidence in their reading practices.
