Exploring Three Ways of Thinking in Reading

The video tutorial explains the three levels of reading comprehension: literal, inferential, and critical. Literal comprehension involves understanding the basic facts and main ideas of a text.

The tutorial also discusses applying these strategies in educational settings.
