Hi question asker!
Summarizing can be a very helpful tool to increase your reading comprehension. If you're working through an article or textbook, try rephrasing difficult sentences or paragraphs in your own words on a scrap piece of paper as you go. Look up words, reread phrases, highlight topic sentences, and separate sentences into their core components so you can be sure your summary is accurate.
This may sound tedious, and it can be at first, but soon enough you'll be able to translate complicated texts into simple, easy to understand concepts in your head as you read. Hope this is helpful!
