Critical Reading Vs Critical Thinking

To begin with, I can define critical reading as being able to take your time to read and understand what you have read or reread what you have read until you have fully understood what the author is trying to say. I would also define it as being able to analyze the title and the subtitle in the story/ article. Not only that, but being able to skim through the story/ article, looking for the words you do not know and getting an idea of what the story/ article is going to be about. In other word, critical reading is about gathering enough information. The term critical thinking can be defined as being able to evaluate what you have read. For example, you will be able to make inferences of what you have read, ask questions about the story/ article and answering them as you read through it. In critical thinking you will also need to be able to gather enough information to identify if the author is being bias or not. I believe that the term critical reading and thinking are interrelated because they need one another to be able to understand the story/ article. For example, you can only think critically if you have fully understood what the author is trying to say. In critical reading and critical thinking, you will be able to analyze the purpose of the story/ article, tone and the pattern that is being used. These two terms will also help you
For example, it can be used when reading a contract. You would need to be able to fully understand what is being said and their terms to be able to ask questions, but also to come up with the decision if you should sign it or add anything to it. They also integrate when we are in school having a discussion of a topic and we need to be able to understand what the article is saying to be able to gather enough information to have enough evidence that will support your
