Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Punctuation is one of the sections of linguistics that studies the patterns and norms of punctuation. It is important for written speech and the development of literacy. The article emphasizes the need to develop students' skills not only to place, but also to expressively "read" punctuation marks. People who are literate in punctuation, in life much more often "read" punctuation marks than to place them when writing. The article describes approaches to teaching expressive "reading" of punctuation marks, for example, a system of various exercises for the development of speech hearing. It also provides examples of tasks that help prepare students for expressive reading of their creative works and dictation texts. The article notes that the work on the formation of punctuation skills is systemic. Its goal is not mechanical memorization of rules, but learning to apply them in various written statements. The article examines the problem of punctuation literacy. Knowledge of punctuation helps the writer to convey his thoughts and feelings more accurately, clearly, fully and vividly, and the reader to perceive the thoughts and feelings of the writer more accurately and fully. To expressively "read" punctuation marks means to establish with their help a correct understanding of the content of the text (in accordance with the author's intention) and on this basis to read it clearly, expressively, observing the necessary intonations. Teaching expressive "reading" of punctuation marks is important not only because it provides more complete punctuation literacy, but also because it contributes to improving the culture of oral speech of students and the development of their speech hearing, which is also of great general pedagogical importance.
