Reading aloud fluently not only helps to improve the reading ability, but also oral expression.
It gives students a chance to focus only on fluency, pronunciation and intonation as they don’t need to worry about grammatical accuracy.
It gives teachers a nice opportunity to correct pronunciation mistakes.
It helps students enhance comprehension as pauses should be made in the correct places.
Reading aloud is especially good for students who don’t feel very confident speaking English in public. It gives them a nice chance to use English in a safe environment and helps them gain confidence.
