Start with spiritual and physical purification. Allah (SWT) says in Sura Al Waqia, “In Book well-guarded, Which none shall touch but those who are clean”. [56:78,79]

Make up the right intention by seeking Allah’s pleasure

Sit in a proper way. Preferably sit facing the qiblah in humility, tranquility and respect.

Pray to Allah asking Him to open our mind and heart to receive guidance, light, and knowledge from the Quran. And to help us studying the Quran in a proper way.

Concentrate fully and leave aside all other preoccupations

Preferably recite Quran after dawn, during night (17:78-79) or in the prayers.  Allah (SWT) says in Sura  Al Isra, “ Establish regular prayers - at the sun's decline till the darkness of the night, and the morning prayer and reading for the prayer and reading in the morning carry their testimony.  And pray in the small watches of the morning: (it would be) an additional prayer (or spiritual profit) for thee: soon will thy Lord raise thee to a Station of Praise and Glory! " [17:78,79]

Begin your reading with ta’awudh (16:98) and each new chapter
with basmalah, but al-Tawbah. Allah (SWT) says, “When thou dost read the Qur'an, seek Allah.s protection from Satan the rejected one.” [16:98]

Interact with the Quran as you read it. It is a message from the Lord of the seen and unseen. For example, when there is a verse that:
* is glorifying Allah, praise Allah (make tasbih) (56:96)
* is about a promise or Heaven, ask for it (76:31)
* is about a threat or Hell-fire, seek refuge in Him (76:31)
* is about the bounties of Allah, say a thanks for them
* includes duwa’, repeat it and ask Allah from His mercy
* answering questions posed by Allah (95:8)

Observe sujud al-tilawah
