learning - How to improve understanding of long sentences in prose?


What are some efficient, methodical, productive ways to improve the skill and speed of interpreting, parsing, and reading long prosaic sentences? I refer not only to legalese or legal language, but also any complx sentence written in modern English prose. For instance, are there basics, fundaments, or prerequisites about sentences that I should self-learn?


Thus far on ELL, I question anew every long sentence that confuses me, but want to transcend this approach 'by chance', which feels like a wastefully haphazard, torturous crawl of piecemeal creeps that hobble too narrowly to reach, even the rungs towards, the apex of sentential comprehension sought.
