The Four Levels of Reading - Deepstash

The Four Levels of Reading

Mortimer Adler literally wrote the book on reading. Adler identifies four levels of reading:

  1. Elementary Reading
  2. Inspectional Reading
  3. Analytical Reading
  4. Syntopical Reading

They are thought of as levels because you can’t move to a higher level without a firm understanding of the previous one — they are cumulative.
