These include among others; visualization, multiple reading strategies, making inferences, planning and monitoring, asking questions, determining importance, visualizing, synthesizing, and making connections. These strategies may help but it takes a committed teacher to really implement the latter.

These may be in form of review, tutorial after classes or conducting activities that promote the importance of reading such as the Summer Reading Camp organized during summer vacation.

During this activity, entertaining sessions are done to encourage appreciation of reading among them. Scholars reported that one cause of reading problems is that children might not find

When students are with genres, organizational patterns, and text features in books they are reading, they are better able to create those text factors in their own writing. Another strategy is the partner reading. It is a strategy created for pairs. The teacher chooses two appropriate books for the students to read. First they must read their own book. Once they have completed this, they are given the opportunity to write down their own comprehensive questions for their partner. The students swap books, read them out loud

If word recognition is difficult, students use too much of their processing activity to read individual words, which interferes with their ability to comprehend what is read. Research reveals that there are a lot of strategies to better and improve the reading comprehension of the students. One of which is the text factors.
