Hello Mack&Mack What does mean "microskill"? The word is new to me, and I can't find it in OED. Could you explain what it is?

Hello paco.
How are you doing? I'm gald to see your name again here.
Microskill is a simple word used in the field in English Education. I'm not sure if it is also a word with other fields, though. As far as I know, the prefix 'micr or micro-' derived from Latin or Greek words menas "small or tiny." I think of course you knew it. So, 'microskills' simply menas skills categorized

Hello Mack&Mack
I see. Thank you for the information. I googled "microskills of reading skills" and "microskills for reading skills" and found no site uses either of these phrases. The phrase form of "---skills of/for --- skills" seems a bit weird to me. Twenty-three pages are using "microskills for reading comprehension" but none uses "microskills of reading comprehension"

Ooops... I'm sorry. I think I got confused when I jotted it down.
The original phrases were as follows:
1. Microskills for reading comprehension &
2. Microskills of reading comprehension.
I'm sorry again. I must have dozed off while I was writing it.

Hello Mack&Mack
"Microskills for reading comprehension" seems a fixed phrase used as a technical term in language education. So maybe it would be better not to say "microskills of reading comprehension".
But in other cases, I feel, English speakers use "skills of something" and "skills for something" almost interchangeably, though the former seems a bit commoner. Results of

Thank you for your answer. I feel the more I study about the prepositions and articles the more I get confused.
Anyway, it's really kind of you to give answers all the time.
Have a good day!
Mack.
