• reading them only once and trying to recall them later
• re - chunking the letters to form meaningful words
• removing the chunks and arranging the letters alphabetically

Explanation:

Chunking involves organizing information into meaningful units. Re - chunking (forming meaningful words from letter chunks) helps improve recall as meaningful units are easier to remember than random letters. Waiting or reading once doesn't use chunking principles, and rearranging alphabetically isn't about meaningful chunks.
