Strong reading is the ability to not just look at the text and understand it, but to apply it to one's own goals and experiences. A strong reader will string together parts of the story that he can relate to, and he will think critically about the evidence offered in the reading. A strong reader can take evidence from within the story or from an outside source and interpret, agree with, or oppose the main ideas and arguments being presented.
I believe strong reading means looking at the text and being able to challenge or believe in the meaning behind the words. It is the ability to recognize similarities or disagreements between the authors words and one's own life and beliefs.
