Pausing refers to the way the reader’s voice is guided by text structure & punctuation (e.g., short breath at a comma; full stop with voice going down at periods, up at question marks).
Phrasing refers to the way readers put words together in groups to represent the meaningful units of language. Sounds like oral language.
Stress refers to the emphasis readers place on particular words (louder or softer tone) to reflect the meaning as speakers would do in oral language.
Intonation (expression) refers to the way the reader varies the voice in tone, pitch and volume to reflect the meaning of the text.
Rate refers to the pace at which a reader moves through the text—not too fast and not too slow.
Integration involves the way a reader consistently & evenly orchestrates rate, phrasing, pausing, intonation & stress.
