Body: What are the main points/arguments of my sources? How are these points
supported?

Answer:

Source1: According to (Alfallaj, 2011). Reading comprehension is considered as the

essence of reading. In this instance, the students are required to be provided with an
extensive range of reading and writing activities that include effective reading
comprehension techniques. Modern literacy standards require that the students can self-
modify, self-manage and self-monitor as a means to become strategic readers who can
select information from the text.
Source2: Furthermore Commodari, E., & Guarnera, M. (2005). Attention plays a critical role
in information processing. Its adequate functioning is required for regular scholastic
progress.
Source3: Fluency is an important reading skill that helps you grasp what you're reading.
Children who are not fluent readers are unable to create connections and completely absorb
what they are reading.

not receive the necessary knowledge owing to a lack of understanding.

Body: Differences in (contrasting) in two or more of the articles:

contrasting kids' reading comprehension; they have different notions when it comes to
observing a student's reading difficulty.

performance, and whether they have a chance to improve their reading ability.
