TRADITIONAL ROOTS
OF ORAL READING
Today,
however,
many
believe that literature is
meant to be heard and,
given the right interpreter
and the right audience,
most literature will be
appreciated
when
read
aloud.
INTERPRETATION
Interpretation
is
generally
known as the reading aloud of
written materials such as radio
or
television
commercials,
expository papers, news items,
and
announcements,
but
traditionally it is associated with
the oral reading of literature.
THE CONCEPT OF
ORAL INTERPRETATION
Interpretation
is the study of
literature through the oral
performance of a speaker who
creates and recreates the
meaning and mood of the
selection.

READING ALOUD
READING ALOUD
REMEMBER!
Reading aloud is
NOT expressing
the
printed
selection
in
a
booming voice, a
sudden outburst
or in an overly
distinct voice.
It is the process of
reading orally for
an audience, using
the elements of
voice and diction
in order to convey
the meaning and
mood
of
the
selection
accurately.
READING ALOUD
It is not merely repeating words and
reciting lines. It is internalizing the
piece thinking, understanding and
feeling the authors meaning and
mood , using the proper quality, pitch,
intensity, rate, including pausing,
phrasing and bodily actions to
actualize the mood intended by the
writer.

Consider
the
attitude,
feelings,
emotion or temperament of the
person who wrote the selection
because these give meaning to his
words and point to the style of
reading aloud you will use in your
interpretation. Knowing the life of the
author and the circumstances that led
to the writing of the poem or story
provides a clue to the emotional
background of the selection.
