What will be an ideal response?

+ Working memory capacity increases, which means that older and better readers can store more of a sentence in memory as they try to identify the propositions it contains.
+ Children acquire more general knowledge of their physical, social, and psychological worlds, which allows them to understand more of what they read.
+ With experience, children better monitor their comprehension.
+ With experience, children use more appropriate reading strategies.
