• Types of Reading:

  • Developmental: aims to develop the student’s reading skill
  • Functional: designed to help students learn basic reading ability
  • Pleasure: aims to provide enjoyment and entertainment
  • Remedial: aims to correct reading difficulties and errors
• Bottom-up processing: understanding language by looking at individual meanings or grammatical characteristics of the most basic units of the text and moving to understand the whole text
• Top-down reading: taking prior knowledge into account when encountering a new text, incorporating what is learned from reading based on active schema related to a particular topic or theme
• Critical thinking involves a series of complex thought processes that allow you to make reasoned judgments, assess the way you think, and solve problems effectively
• Critical thinking is Commonly called “problem solving”

  ▪Not being content with the first solution to a problem, but thinking more deeply about it.

  ▪Knowing, understanding, analyzing, synthesizing, applying and evaluating the idea or problem

  ▪Looking for what is implied in a question rather than what is stated

  ▪Applying the rules of logic to problem solving

  ▪Not letting reason be clouded by emotion
• Critical thinking involves abstract thinking, creative thinking, systematic thinking, and communicative thinking
• Critical thinking requires questioning what is being asked, understanding the purpose, considering the point of view, analyzing information, identifying concepts, recognizing assumptions, making inferences, and evaluating consequences
• Critical thinkers acknowledge personal limitations, see problems as exciting challenges, have understanding as a goal, use evidence to make judgments, are interested in others' ideas, are skeptical of extreme views, think before acting, avoid emotionalism, and keep an open mind
• Uncritical thinkers pretend to know more than they do, get annoyed by problems, are impatient, judge on first impressions and intuition, focus on their own opinions, look only for ideas like their own, are guided by feelings rather than thoughts, claim that thinking gives them a headache, and don't think critically
• A thinker's lexicon includes terms like inference, plausible, validity, claim, fact, opinion, argument, and assumption
• Nurturing your own creativity involves not accepting other people's blueprints, being vigilant about what others can't see, differentiating the good from the bad, taking sensible risks, motivating yourself from inside, shaping environments that support creativity, and actively pursuing your creative life
•   thinking past what your senses tell you
