Hello everyone! I am a high school student and out of the three sections on the SATs, I always find the critical reading to be most difficult. Seeing as this is a forum devoted to teaching, I figured it would be best to post this here. Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, or personal anecdotes they can share regarding improving one's ability to read critically?
My teachers in school have told me that the best way to improve critical reading is by, well, reading, but I didn't find that all too insightful. Perhaps one of the many English scholars here can help me. Thank you very much in advance! ;]
