NHK Easy: How to make the most of it?

So, yesterday I made a post about how I'm trying to practice reading but it doesn't feel like reading, more like a chain of tasks that amount to reading. It was a great debate and I'm really grateful to everybody that replied! I had a couple of interesting exchanges with other fellow redditors that suggested that I also need to improve my listening skills at the same time and that would have an impact on my reading too.

One of the resources I'm using every day is NHK Easy. I noticed there's a ニュースを聞く button right below the title of the article and it has some nice narration to follow along the article. My question is: How would you go about using this feature to make the most of it? How would you structure each practice with the combination of reading + listening? Would you first read it? Listen it? Look up the vocabulary? Do some shadowing? Do all at the same time?

Thanks in advance!
