    Critical Reading as
    Reasoning

    7
    What is a critical reader?
    • A critical reader is someone who defends something
    by giving out reasons.

    • A critical reader should be able to use textual evidence


    when asked to support analysis of the implicit and
    explicit information presented by a writer in a text.

    8
    Textual Evidence
    • When you analyze a text, you want your readers to
    know what the author actually says rather than
    merely your interpretation of the author's ideas.
    • This means that you quote, paraphrase, and/or
    summarize the author's words to support your
    points.

    9
    What is critical reading?
    • Critical reading involves presenting a reasoned argument
    that evaluates and analyses what you have read.

    • Being critical, therefore - in an academic sense - means


    advancing your understanding, not dismissing and
    therefore closing off learning.

    10
    As a critical reader you should reflect on:
    • What the text says: after critically reading a piece you should be able to
    take notes, paraphrasing - in your own words - the key points.

    • What the text describes: you should be confident that you have understood
    the text sufficiently to be able to use your own examples and compare and
    contrast with other writing on the subject in hand.

    • Interpretation of the text: you should be able to fully analyse the text and
    state a meaning for the text as a whole.

    12
    7 Critical Reading Strategies
    1. Previewing
    2. Contextualizing
    3. Questioning to understand and remember
    4. Reflecting on challenges to your beliefs and values
    5. Outlining and summarizing
    6. Evaluating an argument
    7. Comparing and contrasting

    13
    What is reasoning?
    • Reasoning is what we do when we take information
    that we are given, compare it to what we already
    know, and then come up with a conclusion.

    16
    What is critical reading for reasoning?
    • It is a way of giving better explanations to show the
    strength and weakness of something through
    writing.
    • It presents a value judgement based on a set of
    criteria.

    17
    What is critical reading for reasoning?
    • It is used in giving a sound judgement- a judgement
    that can be backs up or supported by valid reasons
    or proofs.
    • It is the writer' s way of explaining why a strength is
    a strength and a weakness a weakness based on the
    evidence gathered.
