Necessities of Critical Reading
"Critical reading is the ultimate goal of content instruction. The Simple View of Reading (Gough & Tunmer, 1986; Hoover & Gough, 1990) suggests reading comprehension is dependent on adequate decoding and language comprehension. Poor reading comprehension may be caused by inadequate decoding, inadequate language comprehension, or inadequate decoding and language comprehension (Gough & Tunmer, 1986; Hoover & Gough, 1990). Therefore, students decoding and language comprehension skills should be assessed, and appropriate decoding and/or language comprehension instruction should be provided as needed to ensure the development of critical reading comprehension."
