Reading beyond the Words
Critical reading has two steps there are: Having recognized what a text says, it reflects on what the text does by making such remarks. Is it offering examples? Arguing, appealing for sympathy, making a contrast to clarify a point. Finally, than critical readers infer what the text is about as a whole, means, based on the earlier analysis. Bloom’s taxonomy lists six levels of critical thinking –1 knowledge,2 comprehension, 3application, 4analysis, 5 synthesis, and 6 evaluation- by the help of which you can deepen your understanding of textbook. By creating and answering questions at each of these levels, you will be able to predict the kind of questions anyone who ask on an exam better.

Using Preview, Study-Read, and Review (PSR) Strategies
In this chapter we study about the PSR technique which means P - preview, S - study-read, and R – review. It needs you to question yourself before, during and after you read the text. By asking questions, predicting textbook content, and hypothesizing about the main idea, you are actively participating or kind of having conversation with the writer with the addition of what you know to the conversation by recalling related information. This will help you understand and remember more of the text you are reading. The PSR technique also requires you to respond to readings by writing in your journal. Review reading using your journal can helps you to understand an author’s ideas and helps you relate the material to things you already know or ideas you have about that.

Identifying and Evaluating Arguments
This chapter teaches us to identify and evaluate the arguments. In simple language arguments is reason or reasons offered in proof, to induce belief, or convince the mind; reasoning expressed in words; as, an argument about, concerning, or regarding a proposition, for or in favor of it, or against it. An argument consists of two or more statements that include one conclusion and at least one reason that support it. When you find an argument, you need to break it down into its constituent parts so that you will be able to determine whether it is well founded and logical. Arguments can be evaluated using specific critical including determining dependability, distinguishing fact from opinion, and detecting fallacies. Talking about its type there are two primary types of arguments, deductive and inductive. Deductive arguments are judged as either being true or false. If the premises of a deductive argument are true, then its conclusion is true and vice versa. An inductive argument begins with a series of specific observations and concludes with a generalization that logically follows from it. As they are based on limited observations, even well constructed inductive argument can’t be regarded a truth
