According to Coffey (p. 1-2):

"Critical literacy is the ability to read texts in an active, reflective manner in order to better understand power, inequality, and injustice in human relationships."

"The development of critical literacy encourages students to question issues of power - explicitly disparities within social contexts like socio-economic status, race, class, gender, sexual orientation, etc.6 Becoming critically literate means that students have mastered the ability to read and critique messages in texts in order to better understand whose knowledge is being privileged"
