It is best to combine memorization with reading (exegesis), by allocating appropriate time for each, following the example of the noble Companions. It is preferable to limit tafsir to concise books like "Al-Jalalayn." As for someone who finds it difficult to understand the meanings, there is no harm in focusing on memorization first, then gradually understanding what they can.
