The development of communication technologies has contributed to a large amount of sources both true and fraudulent, so-called “fake” information, intentionally misleading its readers. In this environment, the importance of critical thinking increases, what allows to evaluate information in terms of its reliability, significance and value. The paper studies the issue of critical thinking formation both personal and pro-fessionally significant skill, which a man of today should possess. The ability to critically comprehend information is especially important for those who deal with texts of different levels and content in their activities. The indicator of their professional competence is how they can identify implicit and explicit meanings and layers of information embedded in the text. Skills of reading and understanding the text demand applied training, which is aimed at the critical thinking formation, therefore the authors suggest some ways of its development by interpreting texts.
