Abstract

Reading books with the goal of completely understanding them is known as critical reading. It entails raising concerns regarding the meaning of specific words and phrases, the framework and goal of the work, and the author's intention. Critical readers evaluate the context in which a piece was produced as well as how different audiences might understand it. All that is required of readers when reading critically is to detect and assess a text's "quality." The meaning of quality might vary based on the text's context and goal. Be aware that this quality differs from the "quality" of other fiction, movies, or books. Certain quality indicators are present in these situations, but they have to do with the capacity to communicate a work of fiction that is engaging (tell a "good story," for example). The reader is meant to gradually acquire some truth about themselves or the world around them through the use of dialogue to develop characters, setting to ground conflicts, and the weaving of a cohesive narrative through dozens of little occurrences. Instead of technique assessing fiction, several critical reading strategies such as inferring, claim/counter-claim, journaling, marking the text, adjusting reading rate, monitoring understanding, SPQ: Stop, Paraphrase, and Question, the contrarian, critical lenses can be deployed to assist and determine the quality of text.
