Skim, Read, Summarize, Reflect. These are the steps for Critical Reading. This isn't just a reading skill. It's about understanding, empathy, and open-mindedness - all the skills needed for a civilized, peaceful society. But social media is eradicating it. And it's doing an effective job, too.
I love this post, Alvin. In fact, this is how research papers should be read as well. Just goes to show that the fundamental skills are the same :)
Thanks, Sairam! And that's how I'll be reading your book. :D And I agree, that's why fundamental skills are so important.
