The article indicates that if teachers firstly teach students critical reading skills, it will not be difficult to convey information to students in the next educational process. The reason is that they can read and analyse the given materials independently and get the information they need to know, and if they have any questions during the reading process they will continue to read another sources given in that material and they can learn this topic perfectly. It is hoped that the findings of this review paper provide good views for teachers and students to make their teaching and studying more clear. According to William Zinser, clear thinking becomes clear understanding and one cannot exist without the other. Muhammad (2022) said that reading, especially, plays an important role in the process of learning a new language and in its development. Grabe (2019) emphasized that improving your reading process is a key skill that allows you to think critically and clearly on any subject. And critical thinking on any subject will give you influence. According to Carrigus (2002), citical reading is a great skill that helps students learning any subject to gain a wider understanding and use it properly. Practicing critical reading in science courses on academic achievement by the help of problem-solving skills is the best way to expand the worldview. Paul and Elder (2005) claim that teachers should teach students to use critical reading in the course of the lesson and beyond, and to read each material critically. Complex reading skills helps students during the study, especially at university, to be able to read more deeply and critically by considering reading as a completely dynamic process and even manage to understand difficult research materials. According to Halpern (1998) during critical reading students will be able to be involved in the reading materials and resort to their prior knowledge to approach the texts and make conclusions. According to Pennycook (2000), learners through
