Chalk Talk: Tips for Critical Reading

Reading for meaning is one of the main goals of every Language Arts curriculum and encompasses skills that help students make meaning of both fiction and non-fiction. What critical reading calls upon the reader to do is ask questions, about things in the text they don't know about or about why the author is making a particular point. Another aspect of critical reading is the ability to generate predictions and to reflect on the predictions made and what actually happens in the text. Offering interpretations for why something happened in a story is a form of critical reading that helps generate analytic thinking. When reading non-fiction, thinking about cause and effect can have a similar effect. A number of skills go into reading critically, one way to help children is to ask them questions about what they are reading and this will bring out many of these thought processes.
