Abstract	The typical college student is unable to deeply comprehend what he or she reads. Most students have few, if any, intellectual tools that would enable them to read deeply, and then apply what they have read. The "Critical Thinking and the Art of Close Reading" series (which includes this column and the past three columns) focuses on some of the most basic understandings necessary for close reading (Paul & Elder, 2003). This final column of the series focuses on some of the skills required to read at different levels. Five levels are highlighted, beginning with the most basic and moving to the more complex. The reflective reader does not always use all of them but chooses from among them given the purpose for reading. Introducing students to each level and giving them routine practice in applying the strategies included at each level is recommended. Through consistent practice, students will eventually develop their abilities to construct ideas into their thinking, to accurately assess what they are reading, and to think within the viewpoint of authors (even those with whom they disagree). The five levels of close reading are introduced in this column in the form of directions for students. (ERIC).
