It should be answerable, how/what-question forms, and non-personal view questions.

How do cognitive skills assist the students to accomplish reading comprehension? thank you

@peakdavid 2 жыл бұрын

I am confused about how your proposed questions relate to your topic. Your topic is about how reading develops a student's cognitive skills. But questions are about which cognitive skills are important for reading comprehension. There is also the issue of which cognitive skills you are referring to: Sustained Attention. Response Inhibition. Speed of Information Processing. Cognitive Flexibility. Multiple Simultaneous Attention. Working Memory. Category Formation. Pattern Recognition. My suggestion is to set up a study: (1) Measure specific cognitive skills in a group of students. (2) Conduct a program aimed at improving reading comprehension. (3) Retest students to measure for increases in the original cognitive skills you tested.

These two questions are for two different studies. English class can involve very different skills and training than just reading would. I would suggest: "How does reading affect cognitive function in children?" I still do not understand what is meant by the phrase "how does reading comprehension improve cognitive skills." Reading comprehension is a result. It is not an actor. I think you may mean "how does reading improve cognitive skills?"
