CRCB CHAPTER 13. READING BEYOND THE WORDS

SUMMARY CHAPTER 13 READING BEYOND THE WORDS

Critical reading comprehension involves challenging yourself to understand what you read in your textbooks at different levels of complexity. Bloom’s taxonomy lists six levels of critical thinking-knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation-that you can use to deepen your understanding of textbook material. By creating and answering questions at each of these levels, you will be better able to predict the kinds of questions your instructor will ask on an exam and better prepare to answer them.
