Respect for grammatical signs during reading.

When faced with the task of reading in public, it is important to consider not only fluency and intonation, but also respect for grammatical signs. In this session, we will explore the importance of respecting grammatical signs during reading and how this contributes to effective and understandable communication.

The role of grammatical signs in reading: Grammatical signs, such as periods, commas, semicolons and question marks, among others, play a key role in the structure and comprehension of a text. These signs indicate pauses, intonations and syntactic relationships between words and sentences. By properly respecting these signs during reading, we can convey the message in a clear and coherent manner, facilitating comprehension by the audience.

Grammatical signs give us clues about the intonation and pauses we should use during reading. For example, periods and commas indicate a short pause, while periods indicate a longer pause at the end of a sentence. By using the proper intonation in question marks and exclamations, we can convey the meaning and intention of the text. Respecting these signs in reading contributes to better communication and avoids confusion or misunderstandings.

The importance of clarity and coherence: Respecting grammatical signs is also essential to ensure clarity and coherence in our reading. By pausing in the right places and emphasizing key words, we achieve better articulation and highlight the structure of the text. This allows the audience to follow the thread of the speech and understand the message more effectively. In addition, respecting grammatical signs contributes to a more fluent and natural reading, avoiding unnecessary interruptions or pauses.

To ensure that we respect grammatical signs during reading, proper preparation and practice is essential. Before introducing ourselves to the audience, we should familiarize ourselves with the text, identify the grammatical signs and understand their function in the structure of the text. We can mark the relevant signs in the text to remember pauses and intonations during reading
