(1993) state that "the metacognitive process involved in gaining meaning from the act of reading requires knowledge from not only of four basic variables but also of the way in which they relate to one another to produce learning." The four variables for the teacher and the student to follow include: Text the aspects of the material to be read which will determine the memorization, and later retrieval (e.g. vocabulary difficulty, sentence structure, writing style).
