The study notes that one of the challenges is the difficulty of improving reading comprehension among students who struggle with it. The use of a small sample size and a limited number of tests is also a challenge. The study's findings suggest that additional challenges include the need for further research and the development of new strategies.

Future research should examine the effects of parafoveal previews and target predictability on reading comprehension. The study suggests that individual differences in reading ability should be controlled for in future research. Future research should also examine the effects of parafoveal previews and target predictability on reading instruction and intervention programs.

Future research should investigate the effectiveness of the strategies tested in this study with a larger sample size. Further research is needed to fully understand the impact of the strategies on reading comprehension. The study's findings suggest that additional research is needed to develop and test new strategies for improving reading comprehension.

The interaction between parafoveal previews and target predictability is not well understood. Prior work has examined the effects of these factors separately, but their interaction is not well studied. The study aims to fill this gap by examining the effects of parafoveal previews and target predictability on gaze duration and fixation times.
