Reading aloud. Do I need to learn to read aloud correctly?

Everyone knows the importance of reading. It allows you to develop thinking, memory, attentiveness, increases vocabulary... Thanks to constant reading, a person's communication skills are improved.

However, few people think about how much more useful reading aloud is for both a child and an adult. Ask yourself: How long have you read a book aloud? As unnecessary, this skill atrophies, which leads to problems not only on the oratory, but also in everyday life.

Why is it important to teach children to read aloud?

Reading aloud is especially important in childhood. Studying with a child, forcing him to pronounce a text or a fairy tale, we improve:

speech skill;

memory;

correct pronunciation and memorization of words;

vocabulary;

expressiveness of speech;

speed and quality of information processing.

In childhood, it is imperative to train your child to read aloud. In this case, it is not the speed of reading the texts that matters, but the correctness and emotional coloring... The child must learn to convey the feelings and intonations of the characters through speech.

Separately about how important it is to develop fluent reading for the child we are talking about.

Basic exercises for reading aloud as a child

Multiple reading. The child will not remember the words, and often will not be able to retell the text the first time. To improve the skill of understanding information, improve diction and replenish vocabulary, the same text must be read several times in a row and in the future return to rereading it.

The pace of the tongue twisters. The speed of reading aloud while maintaining the correct pronunciation is developed not only by the tongue twisters themselves, but also by reading ordinary texts at this pace. Let the child try to read as quickly as possible, but at the same time do not forget about the correct diction.

The transition to the unknown. The child is encouraged to read a familiar passage expressively. He starts reading, but there is no need to stop him. When he gets to the unfamiliar part, he will continue to read expressively.

What is expressive reading?

Expressive reading is not only reading texts aloud, but also the correct transfer of intonations, emotions, placement of accents in the right places. Many associate expressive reading with fiction, teach such reading to children and do not think how much this skill is necessary for an adult successful person. Expressive reading is the foundation of oratory. It is necessary to master it not only with literary texts, but also with scientific reports, presentations and other similar elements.

Reading aloud is the foundation of public speaking

Oratory is the ability to attract the audience, arouse its interest and genuine attention, and make a pleasant impression. To study oratory it is necessary with correct reading aloud. IN modern world there are many courses for people who wish to learn public reading and speaking, but you can do it yourself at home.

Basic principles of teaching expressive reading in adults

carefully monitor the literacy and correct pronunciation;

place pauses according to punctuation marks;

emotionally color the text (do not be afraid to change the volume of the voice, timbre, speed of speech);

do not forget about facial expressions;

place pauses and accents (for beginners, you can pre-emphasize meaningful sentences or even words in the text in order to emphasize them in time).

In teaching expressive reading the main practice. Feel free to stand in front of the mirror and read: fairy tales, newspaper articles, reports, term papers, and so on. You will be surprised how much your speaking skills will improve in just a couple of weeks.

Why are there problems with reading aloud speed and how to fix them?

Most often, problems occur in children under 12 years of age. Studies have shown the need to develop reading skills with preschool age... If learning began later, in adolescence, children may face the following problems:

no concentration of attention on the text;

very small vocabulary;

diction problems;

poorly trained memory;

constant return to one word.

These problems are also common in adults. Before learning to read speed, you must first of all eliminate these shortcomings. Constantly reading new materials and using the rules mentioned above helps to cope with this.

To achieve effective results, you need to exercise every day. Periodic study of new information helps to train the muscles of the lips and tongue, as well as expand memory. Thanks to this, you will be able to perceive words visually, significantly increasing the speed of reading aloud.

What if I get tired quickly when I read aloud?

First, let's note right away that like any physical activity that you try to perform correctly for a long period of time without proper preparation, reading aloud can and should make you uncomfortable. This is normal. More at first, much less over time.

Each of you, especially with the appearance of a child, starting to read fairy tales aloud, noticed that very soon it begins to tickle in the throat, unpleasant sensations appear in the part of the larynx, you want to cough or at least drink water.

Oddly enough, in order to read aloud for a long time and not get tired, you need to train not the throat or vocal cords, but the diaphragm. The diaphragm is responsible for how and with what force you breathe, and breathing, in turn, forms a sound series. By training your diaphragm, you will get rid of the problem of quick fatigue when reading aloud.

How to do it yourself? In addition to the development of the diaphragmatic muscles, in order not to get tired quickly and morally hold on throughout the entire reading aloud, simple secrets of stage speech will help you. After all, as we remember, beautiful reading aloud is the basis of performing arts.

3 rules for developing confident speech

It is worth noting that for the production of a beautiful stage voice, nevertheless, you should turn to professionals in order to avoid mistakes and make the learning process much faster and more painless. However, there are basic rules to help you get started on your own.

Breathing training. Since it is breathing that is the basis of the voice, accordingly, powerful breathing is necessary for a powerful sound. Take deep breaths through your nose, hold the air for short intervals of 3-5 seconds and exhale sharply through your mouth. The exhalation should be sharp, as if you are blowing out a balloon or blowing out a match. Inhale again and imagine that there are two balls in front of you - two sharp exhalations. Next: three, four and five balls.

Strengthening the speech apparatus. The mimic muscles of the face are responsible for the correct pronunciation of sounds, which can be developed by simple antics. As well as the upper-lower palate and tongue. Before reading, try to "stretch your face" and pronounce all the vowels - this will "stretch" your lips and tongue as well as possible.

Read Fast is a philosophy of reading fluently and meaningfully. We believe that you can read 3-4 times faster, not only without losing the quality of memorization of the material read, but also with much steeper efficiency indicators. Join us:).

📙 What is the best speed reading book?

Reading aloud is one of best exercise for the development of speech. Why out loud, and not to yourself? Because reading aloud is a speech practice, while reading to oneself is a silent absorption of information. Likewise, learning to dance well requires dancing, not just watching others dance.

Usually, written texts, in contrast to spoken speeches, are of higher quality in structure, concise and do not contain errors and minor miscalculations, which are abundant in sounding speeches, since the authors, unlike speakers, had more time to edit and improve the texts. Therefore, regular reading aloud allows you to learn to speak smoothly, as if from the written word.

How to read aloud correctly? Firstly, without rushing, at the optimal conversational pace, about 120 words per minute (we are used to reading to ourselves much faster, since we are not limited by the tempo of speech). Second, by speaking the words clearly. Thirdly, expressively and with arrangement (with accents and pauses). Fourthly, artistically voicing the direct speech of the characters, endowing them with a certain character. It is also very important to pronounce the text not in the tone of reading, but as if you are expressing your own thoughts - reading aloud, you should not “read”, but “tell”.

What to read? Everything is possible (poems, novels, articles, stories, reference books, legal contracts, fairy tales for children, etc.), but it is better to those works that, from your point of view, are beautifully presented, contain a rich vocabulary and useful information.

How much to read? The bigger, the better. Optimally - half an hour a day - then literally in a month you will see obvious results - rough speech will become smoother, and you will easily pick up the right words to express your brilliant ideas.

It is also helpful to record readable text on a voice recorder. Subsequent listening to it helps from the outside to notice some of the nuances of speech - both advantages and disadvantages that a person usually does not notice in the process of reading. Such feedback allows, correcting speech, to improve it.

Reading aloud is a great way to fill out free time instead of stupidly killing him. Work out good habit read aloud - and your speech will always be in great shape and continuous improvement.

First, you need to read expressively. To do this, you must have a good understanding of what we are talking about. It is also necessary to skillfully put stress, to observe pauses, to pronounce words clearly, not to “swallow” syllables and sounds, to choose the correct intonation.

Second, reading aloud should be loud enough so that others can listen without tension. This is important, as a quiet voice is not always

communicates the necessary information well.

Finally, you need to choose an average pace. Too quick reading does not allow listeners to understand everything read in full, too slow usually causes irritation.

Facial expressions and gestures, if they correspond to the content of the text and partially illustrate it, can be useful. Reading in this case turns out to be artistic and evokes a response from the audience. But if you're unsure of your acting ability, it's best not to risk it. Use intonation!

So reading aloud is not easy. But this does not mean that learning to read aloud well is impossible. It is necessary

just, as in any business, to show diligence and patience. And everything will work out! (167 words)
