Decreasing speed to better understand complex words or ideas.

Slowing down lets her unpack long sentences, re-read difficult passages, look up or infer scientific terms, and paraphrase each idea — all of which improve comprehension. (She can also combine this with visualizing or annotating as follow-up strategies.)
