In order to become a critical reader you must explore beyond the books actual chapters. One important way to do this is to get to know the books author. Usually, information about a books author can be found in the book itself. In order to fully understand what the author is trying to coney, you must understand the why and how in which he author is presenting their work.
Another crucial element in reading critically is the ability to compare and contrast texts that are near identical to each other. A great example of this is two texts, with the very same topic, which are written during two different times. This will allow the reader to see how new information plays a role on a particular topic and what may not change at all.
