Abstract | Developing critical literacy skills in students from an early age is vital and should be every teacher's goal. When students are taught how to evaluate a text in critical terms, they are empowered to consider and analyze the influences that are shaping their thoughts and ideas. Strong critical thinking skills enable students to question and challenge attitudes, values, and beliefs that are hidden below the surface as they read or listen to an author's message. The challenge for teachers is to help students unlock its mystery, to understand the basic intent of an author's message. As teachers, how do they provide students with the critical literacy skills to comprehend? Critical Literacy holds the key for teachers today, the means by which they introduce students to a type of media and have them critique it for its genuine meaning. The benefit of critical literacy is to get students to think about media around them, assessing the statement behind its message. It offers learners the reflective tools to appraise communication itself flooding their minds each and every day of their young lives. (ERIC). |
