The Role of Reading in Developing Critical Thinking

This article explores how reading fosters the development of critical thinking skills.

The article outlines specific cognitive processes stimulated by reading, such as inference-making, argument analysis, and perspective taking, and suggests educational approaches for nurturing critical thinking through reading activities.
