-Focus is synonymous with attention and entails being vigilant and "orienting." Orientation is the capacity to direct one's attention to the exact tasks that will assist them in accomplishing their objective. Concentration is also a significant component of focus as children age.

-The term "inhibitory control" refers to the capacity to refrain from doing something. These abilities are advantageous when confronted with a difficult task that you are tempted to abandon, assisting you in acting appropriately and simply pausing and taking stock before acting. To exercise inhibitory control, one must exercise control over one's attention, emotions, and conduct. It could be anything as basic as being able to block out your neighbor's conversation while you read your work emails.

-Reading comprehension relies heavily on making connections between the ideas presented in the text. As a result, children are better able to comprehend what they are reading, retain the knowledge, and better engage with the text itself when they develop connections to the material.

-to accept a challenge: to take on a challenge

I hope this helps you
