i think the best strategy would be to first build confidence with easy-level passages while working on vocabulary everyday. then after a week or two, move to medium-level to get an idea of how much you have improved. if its better then move to hard-level, otherwise continue building vocabulary and try to read dense articles from newspapers or websites to get comfortable with reading. :)
