Exercises in Critical Thinking

Think of how you read words in your language.

  1. Is there a moment when you just know what a word means or do you need time to process it?
  2. Keep track of mistakes you make when you read. Are these grammatical, phonological, or semantic?
  3. Do you make mistakes when you read silently? What about when you are speaking to yourself?
