[AI vs. children who cannot read textbooks] Basic reading comprehension has nothing to do with the amount of reading!

Without basic reading comprehension skills, not only in Japanese, but also in all subjects such as arithmetic, social studies and science, it is impossible to solve a text because it is impossible to grasp the text in the first place.
