Which is the better strategy for increasing comprehension?

A. Paraphrase what you read

B. Take notes word for word so as not lose the meaning intended

C. Summarize only chapter by chapter

D. Take notes only when you are unclear of a concept

I believe the best strategy for increasing comprehension is to A. paraphrase what you read.

If you read something, and you are able to paraphrase it, it means that you understand a lot of that text. Paraphrasing means retelling the text using your own words. So, you are going to state the main idea, and thus show your comprehension of the text.
