Introduction
Teachers usually do not emphasize on critical reading skills when teaching reading in schools. They would focus more on word attack skills, comprehension skills, and fluency skills. This should not happen because critical reading skills are important for students to learn so that we can prepare them to be better critical readers in life. Students when they leave school either they choose to further their study or work would face the same challenge that is how to succeed in their life. However, this is not something easy for them to achieve if they do not have the essential critical skills and one of them is the critical reading skills. Therefore, it is imperative for teachers to teach these critical reading skills to students because these skills could help them to survive when they leave schools, especially when they embark in any program at the tertiary level. In order for teachers to produce critical readers, they must expose the students to reading skills (one of the skills is critical reading skills), reading strategies, and metacognitive skills and strategies when they teach reading in schools.
