The best way to increase reading comprehension is to read more often.
Reading different types of books, with different subjects and content,
will condition your brain to retain more information over time. This
will also give you the ability to read more quickly.
The denotative definition of a word is its literal meaning. This would be the meaning one would find in the dictionary.
By contrast, the connotative definition is the meaning associated with the word. It is the implied meaning of the word.

-- a beautiful woman
-- a handsome woman
-- a pretty woman
While all these words mean the same thing, they do not have the same associations.
