Keywords:
:scaffolding, differentiated learning, classroom instruction, reading comprehension, and assessmentAbstract
As the cornerstone for learning across disciplines, reading comprehension is an essential educational skill. The development of students' analytical and critical thinking abilities depends on the efficient planning of reading comprehension exercises in the classroom. By combining theoretical viewpoints, teaching methodologies, and classroom implementations, this article examines several approaches to organizing reading comprehension exercises. The study examines assessment strategies, individualized instruction, and scaffolding strategies that promote comprehension growth using data from current studies.
