Critical reading is a form of language analysis that does not accept a text at face value, instead examining its claims, supporting evidence, and possible counterarguments in depth. It includes identifying ambiguities or flaws in an author's reasoning and the ability to address them, as well as reinterpreting and reconstructing a text for greater clarity. Like academic writing, critical reading depends on linking specific evidence to the arguments it is meant to support.
