How to read aloud
Choose a passage that you know well.
Read loudly and clearly (do not shout or whisper).
Make sure you know how to pronounce all the words correctly. (A dictionary will help you.)
Practise your reading several times. (You can read it to your family or friends.)
Read smoothly, but not in a boring voice. (Change your voice to add emphasis or to express feelings.)
Do not read too quickly or too slowly. (Your listeners must be able to follow what you are reading but must not fall asleep!)
Do not keep your eyes on your book or paper. (Know your text well enough to look at your listeners sometimes.)
Pause very briefly at commas and a little bit longer at full stops.
If your passage has direct speech in it, change your voice to reflect what the speaker sounds like, for example, a young or old man/woman.
Formal Assessment: Your teacher will assess your reading using the following criteria: 1 Does the reader show understanding of the passage? 2 Does the reader read clearly, fluently and correctly? 3 Does the reader look at the listener?
4 Does the reader use different tones of voice? Reading and viewing: Read a novel/short story
