Crucial reading comprehension skills to master:
1. Figure out the setting:
-Where the story takes place
-When (year, month, time of day, etc.)

-Pay attention whenever the setting of the story changes. This will help you picture what’s happening

2. What's the author's point of view? (1st, second person, third person, etc.)

3. Making inferences

Research on cloze tasks that I mentioned:
"Cloze tasks, although initially developed to measure readability (Taylor, 1953), are considered to improve ability to use context clues effectively (Kennedy & Weener, 1973) and to provide motivation for reading (Bloomer, 1966; Heitzman & Bloomer, 1967)".

"The cloze procedure forces readers outside the sentence and interrupts their normal flow of reading. This use of information across sentence boundaries is an important aspect of reading comprehension, for it helps readers to recognize the interrelationships of language and to develop an awareness of sequence, both of which could help prediction. It also forces readers to reconstruct on the basis of a wider range of context cues, for they have to read beyond the unknown word for additional cues (Bortnick and Lopardo, 1973: 297)".
