 INTERTEXT
• Refers to those interrelationships among texts that shape a text's meaning.
• Interconnections between similar or related works perceived by an audience or reader
of the text.
• Defines as comparing the meaning of a text to another text.
• Read one text and reference another, or when you adopt and change a prior text.
• Emphasizes that the text is always influenced by previous texts and in turn anticipates
future texts.
HYPERTEXT
 HYPERTEXT
• This information shows as links and is usually accessed by clicking.
• The reader can find more information about a topic, which may have more links.
• This open up the reader to a wider horizon of information to a new direction.
• It associates topics on a screen to related information, graphics, videos and music where
information is not simply connected to the text.
• Unintentionally seeing patterns (that are apparent in another text) in the materials being
read.
• Creates a network of linked materials and encourages readers to go through the material at
their pace

 Critical Reading
- an academic skill
- a careful, thorough, thoughtful,
and active reading strategy.
 Critical Reading

‘what is the author trying to say?’ or
‘what is the main argument being
presented?’
 Critical Reading
- means to exercise your judgment
about what you are reading – that is,
not taking anything you read at face
value.

Analysis of Reading
• What a text says Restatement
• What a text does Description
• What a text means Interpretation
 What is
REASONING?
 REASONING
- is a process of thinking during
which the individual is aware of a
problem identifies, evaluates,
and decides upon a solution”
(S.J. Sherman).
 REASONING
- the word used to describe the mental

relationships, it may be the prediction of

 Critical Reading Skills
1. The ability to distinguish between fact and
opinion
2. The ability to identify the author’s purpose
3. The ability to make inferences
4. The ability to recognize the author’s tone
5. The ability to recognize persuasive
techniques
 A critical reader can do the following:

1. accurately summarize arguments from the

text
2. identify claims
3. discover stated or implied assumptions
4. analyze and evaluate the preciseness of a
certain thesis statement, and
5. analyze, evaluate, and explain the purpose or
consequence of the use of particular facts or
sources of information
 Steps in Using Critical Reading in Reasoning
1. First determine the central claims or
purpose of the text (its thesis).
2. Begin to make some judgments about
context.
3. Distinguish the kinds of reasoning the text
employs.
4. Examine the evidence (the supporting facts,
examples, etc.) the text employs.
5. Critical reading may involve evaluation.
 Critical Reading as Reasoning
1. Identifying Assertions
Assertions are declarative sentences that claim
something is true about something else
• COVID-19 is a pandemic that has claimed
thousands of lives since it outbreak.
• W.H.O says there is no cure yet for the disease.
• The Philippine government is willing to scrape
down the barrel for education
 Critical Reading as Reasoning
2. Formulating Counterclaims
Counterclaims are claims made to rebut a
previous claim. They provide a contrasting perspective
to the main argument.
• What are the major points on which you and the
author can disagree?
• What is the strongest argument?
• What are the merits of the views?
• What are the weaknesses of the argument?
 Critical Reading as Reasoning
3. Determining Textual Evidence
Evidence is defined as the details given by the author
to support his/her claim. It can include facts and statistics,
opinions from experts, and personal anecdotes.
• What questions can you ask about the claims?
• Which details in the text answer your questions?
• What are the most important details in the paragraph?
• What are some claims that do not seem to have
support?
• Are the sources reliable?
