This paper focuses on cultivating students' critical thinking ability in college English reading teaching. It begins by outlining the connotation of critical thinking ability and its significance in reading teaching, then analyzes core issues and their causes, such as deviations in educational philosophy, imperfections in the teaching system, and limitations in teacher competence. Subsequently, a cultivation system is constructed, clarifying principles and objectives, the overall framework, and phased pathways. Finally, specific implementation strategies are proposed, covering the optimization of teaching content, methodological innovation, evaluation reform, and teacher and resource support, providing theoretical and practical references for enhancing students' critical thinking ability.
