What are critical reading and critical literacy?
Critical reading focuses on deliberately uncovering a relationship between the reader, writer, and subject through analyzing the writer’s use of devices such as diction, parallel structure, figurative language, and imagery to unearth authorial intention and consider the subsequent effect on the intended reader’s thoughts and emotions. Critical literacy situates a text within political, historical, and social contexts as a means to name and challenge inequity. Critical literacy also involves readers recognizing they bring with them certain backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs that will impact how they transact with a text.
