Reading Comprehension Questions in Fourth Grade Arabic Language Textbooks in Oman: An Analysis From the Perspective of Progress in International Reading Literacy Study

The study aimed to determine the extent to which the reading comprehension questions in the book, I Love My Language for the Fourth Grade, Part One and Two, consider the reading comprehension processes. It also measured the level of consideration of the reading comprehension questions for the reading comprehension processes by the international study Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS). The descriptive analytical method was used, and its tool was a content analysis card, which included four processes with 237 questions. The results showed that the book I Love My Language for the fourth grade included the four reading comprehension processes and carefully analyzed most of its sub-processes. It is recommended to reconsider the balance of processes in the book. This is important in light of the reading comprehension processes and the diversity of reading comprehension questions. It is necessary to take into account the four comprehension processes and their sub-processes in the two parts measured by the international study "PIRLS".
