According to the question. Reading strategies are important statements for a critical thinking and the most important of them are:
Contextualizing and Questioning.
1) CONTEXTUALIZING: When you Contextualize a text for example and also make an interpretation of the statement you will become more critically independent thinker. And also when you contextualize a text, you place it within its original historical or cultural context. In order to do this, you should consider the following:
- Language or ideas that appear foreign or out of date.
- Your knowledge of the time and place in which the work was written.
- The effect these differences have on your understanding and judgment of the reading.
2) QUESTIONING: Questions are designed to help you understand a reading and respond it more fully, and often this technique works when the questions are relevant and appropriately phrased. With this strategy, they can write questions any time, but in difficult academic readings, they will understand the material better and remember it longer if they write a question for every paragraph or brief section. Each question should focus on a main idea, not on illustrations or details, and each should be expressed in their own words, not just copied from parts of the paragraph.
