They also contribute to students building their vocabulary and reading comprehension abilities.
 
From the student's viewpoint, reading comprehension activities offer an engaging and enjoyable way to learn new information and concepts. They also help students develop vital reading skills, such as identifying main ideas, making inferences, and drawing conclusions. Reading comprehension exercises can also effectively help students practice and enhance their writing skills as they may be required to respond to questions or write summaries of the texts they read.
