Latin: Intensive Reading
Extensive reading has a partner: take a small, complex paragraph and dissect it completely. Ensure you understand the grammatical function of every single word before moving on. This is slow by design — one paragraph done properly teaches more grammar than ten pages skimmed. Alternate the two modes; never let one replace the other.
