Abstract

We firmly believe that sound training in critical reading leads to more respectful,/nindependent and participative citizens in a more mature and fairer democracy. We/ngive some real-life examples of the relationship between reading comprehension/nand interpreting ideology, define a critical reader and look at existing research on/nthe critical practice of reading with textbooks and other resources. We conclude that/nstudents do not receive sufficient training on this point and are not ready to enter/nthe jungle of everyday texts. We finish by making several practical recommendations/nto tackle reading tasks in class that stress critical reading to prepare for democracy.
