So What is ORAL READING FLUENCY?

Reading is one skill that everyone knows and believes helps improve English fluency. Yet, you could reading either ways…

* You could read silently within yourself

* You could read aloud

SILENT READING could help you to enjoy, it gifts you the joy of reading and peace of mind, along with inheriting knowledge. Well, that could be the essence of reading.

ORAL READING

ORAL READING is all about reading aloud. I guess many of us have the habit of reading aloud for our examinations. The crux of oral reading kind of gives you an assurance of what you read and when you read aloud, many feel they are able to understand it better.

HOW CAN ORAL READING HELP YOUR ENGLISH FLUENCY

Reading aloud is a little bit of personal stuff to be done but a trick which is far more beneficial than silent reading. We could even do it if we had kids at home, that is fun actually.

It is of course fascinating to know about the benefits of oral reading and it’s impact on your English communication. When we read aloud you tend to improve your word recognition and reading comprehension obviously. Fluency is all about our capability to speak or read rapid, accurately with the apt expression. This is wholesomely achievable when you read aloud.

Oral reading is a prerequisite to comprehension. Oral reading is one strategy where you have the opportunity and space to think and understand better, though we all are aware there are several dimensions to develop any language skill in specific fluency.

Fluency in any language involves the process of organising the words in your head and saying the words using your speech organs. Oral reading isolates these two steps and makes the process of gaining fluency much more easier, because you just have got to read what is written on a piece of paper and you don’t need to organise the words in your mind.

How to practise oral reading?

Oral reading is good for any level Language learners, nothing specific. Speaking any language is like playing any instrument, you need to train your tongue, lips and your speech organs to achieve fluency. This you can do well and train up with Oral reading.

It helps to reduce stuttering, stammering…

The ways or rather steps in practising oral reading

* Pick up any text or article to begin with quite an easy one

* Then try to read that aloud

* Then increase your speed.

* Now after you increase your reading speed you must ensure that you are reading smoothly and clearly

* You can further move on to the step of recording whatever you have read aloud

* Then listen to your recording. This helps you to ensure whether you have read it well, fluent and confident.

* Then correct your mistakes or pronunciation

* If you find your reading pace poor you can improve on that too.

There is yet another alternative to these procedures you can listen to a piece of article read out by someone else or native speaker and then try to repeat that content aloud after listening, just loud.

I hope you just got yourself introduced to the concept of Oral Reading and how to go about it. Try to practise ORAL READING just your way. Speak fluently.

Catch you soon,
