What does evaluative comprehension allow a reader to do?

Evaluative comprehension is a higher-level thinking skill that enables readers to analyze and assess information presented in a text. It involves making judgments based on textual evidence, which means that readers critically evaluate characters, actions, themes, and the overall message within a story. This type of comprehension allows readers to discern the effectiveness of the author’s choices and draw conclusions about the text's meaning and implications.

When readers engage in evaluative comprehension, they utilize their understanding of the text to form opinions or critiques, backed by specific examples from the text itself. This not only deepens their understanding but also enhances their ability to engage in discussions and analyses of literature or any written material.
