    Intonation

    When good readers read aloud, they use intonation.  that means they make their voice rise and fall at the right places so that their reading sounds like natural speech.

    End punctuation marks and commas help you know when to raise or lower your voice. A question mark, for example, tells you to lift your voice a little at the end of a question.
