It exposes more of the solute surface to the water molecules.
Reducing particle size results in an increase in surface area. The increase in surface area allows more solvent (water) molecules to interact with the substance, and this increases the rate at which that substance dissolves.
As the particle size gets smaller, the surface area increases, and as the surface area increases, the ease with which water can hydrate the particles increases. When it is easier for water to hydrate the molecules, this increases the speed at which the solute dissolves.

1) increase the solvent's temperature 2) add more solvent 3) stir (have the solvent and solute meet together more instead of letting the solute rest at the bottom of the solvent)

For the amount of material in the particle the surface area of a small particle is greater than a larger particle. Said another way, the surface area per unit volume is greater for a smaller particle. Dissolving speed is related to the surface area. Therefore a smaller particle dissolves faster than a larger particle.
As more solute dissolves in a solvent, the solubility of the solute in the solvent increases. This leads to an increase in the concentration of the solution. The solution becomes more concentrated as more solute particles are dispersed in the solvent.
