Critical Reading vs. Critical Literacy

How do the two concepts, critical readings vs. critical literacy, relate to your own content area? How might teachers in your content area incorporate the two concepts? Does it make sense to do so? Why or why not?


After thinking about this question for some time now I feel this is particularly harder for a music education major. I feel critical reading is much harder for a music major verse a history major. Critical reading may play some role by saying students read critical by reading there music but that is also hard to prove they are reading critically. The only real good example is if you are in a music history class where there is a text book. I feel music history also applies to critical literacy where the students would have to take the text understand the text and comprehend the text.
