1. Introduction: The name of the reader, title of the selection, and name of the author must be presented in an inviting manner. 2. Enunciation: No words or phrases can be lost during the reading. Word endings must be clearly pronounced. Crisp but natural pronunciation of words during reading is essential. 3. Phrasing: Maintain the rhythm of the selection and follow conventions of print such as commas, punctuation marks, exclamation marks, bold print, and sense of drama. 4. Volume: The reader must be easily heard throughout the classroom. Speaking from diaphragm and not just from the throat is encouraged.
