Exercises in Critical Thinking
Think of how you read words in your language.
- Is there a moment when you just know what a word means or do you need time to process it?
- Keep track of mistakes you make when you read. Are these grammatical, phonological, or semantic?
- Do you make mistakes when you read silently? What about when you are speaking to yourself?
