The present article focuses on the field of critical thinking, specifically on methods helping to stimulate critical thinking and understanding of a written text. The article also includes a practical illustration of how critical thinking is being cultivated with relation to developing skills of reading comprehension. This practical example presents a partial output of the research that focused on pupils in the second year of primary school, and it provides a suggestion how to use in practice methods developing critical thinking by means of reading comprehension.

Keywords: critical thinking, methods developing critical thinking, reading comprehension, educational text, primary school pupil, lifelong learning
