Abstract. Reading comprehension is now understood to involve a dynamic interaction between the reader and the text, rather than a passive process of text decoding. Critical reading abilities are now essential in the information era, as students must manage a sea of material. In order to promote deeper comprehension, critical thinking, and academic success, this research examines the value of critical reading skills in secondary education. It looks at evidence-based teaching practices for developing these abilities, analyzes the cognitive and academic advantages of critical reading, and recognizes the difficulties faced by teachers in secondary education.
Keywords: Critical reading, Reading comprehension, Critical thinking, Secondary education, Information literacy.
