Brigitte A. McKown, B.S. (2007) and Cynthia L. Barnett, B.S. (2007) stated that
the teacher researchers intended to improve reading comprehension by using
higher-order thinking skills such as predicting, making connections, visualizing,
inferring, questioning, and summarizing. In their classrooms, the teacher-researchers
modeled these strategies through the think-aloud process and graphic organizers.
Gina Sullivan (2018) also stated that the students who received the higher-
order thinking skills had higher reading comprehension than the students who did
not receive these skills. She also defined reading comprehension as a strategic and
active move to understand a text.
In this study, the researchers are interested in how to find out ways in
increasing reading comprehension especially in the usage of higher-order thinking
skills. What makes our study different from previous studies is they have a broad
population target and different data collection processes, while our study has a
specific small population target and we are also using quantitative data sampling.
1. Is it ready to be implemented?
2. Does it follow correct health protocols during the activity?
3. Do all of the Grade IV Aquino pupils can do the activity during the assigned
schedule within the school vicinity?
4. What are the effective methods used in conducting reading sessions aside from
higher-order questioning?
5. How effective is higher-order questioning to the certain group of pupils?
