ESB Graded Examinations in Speech Teacher Guidance: Foundation

 Ask students to work towards developing eye contact ‐ from   looking up, to sharing the reading with the whole group. This will  help to involve the listening group in the story.    To know how to make effecƟve use of pause is one of the most  important lessons for the speaker. Silences are as necessary in   giving an intelligent interpretaƟon as are sounds. Encourage   students to use pause to separate phrases, renew breath, and for  dramaƟc effect. Pauses can be used to indicate intense feelings to  help in building up a climax.    Please see the Suggested Choices  secƟon for a list of   recommended texts.   For further guidance about how to read aloud to an audience, please watch this  video:
