Hey. Reading aloud, a person learns not only diction, but also improves the intonation of speech, its brightness and emotional coloring, which makes it easier and more accurate to express thoughts, eliminating parasitic words and other speech defects. It’s difficult for some people to choose the words that are most expressive and appropriate to the situation and that express feelings and thoughts most clearly. Reading aloud contributes to the development of a smooth speech that draws attention to the interlocutor, an increase in vocabulary, memory development and human literacy.
