The Four Levels of Reading
1. Elementary Reading
This is the level of reading taught in our elementary schools.
2. Inspectional Reading
Inspectional reading allows us to look at the author’s blueprint and evaluate the merits of a deeper reading experience.
3. Analytical Reading
You can think of analytical reading as doing that chewing and digesting. This is doing the work.
Analytical reading is a thorough reading.
4. Syntopical Reading
Syntopical Reading involves reading many books on the same subject and comparing and contrasting ideas, vocabulary, and arguments.
