Reading one Ayah with contemplation
Reading one Āyah with contemplation and understanding is better than reading a (whole) Khatmah (one complete reading of the Qur'ān) without contemplation and understanding. It is more beneficial for the heart, and more likely to assist in gaining Īmān and the taste of the sweetness of the Qur'ān.[1]

[1] He (Allāh), Exalted is He, says: {(This is) a Book (the Quran) which We have sent down to you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember.} [Sūrah Sād 38:29]
