A Rutgers University project attempted to develop and test some ways of creating awareness of the elements of intonation in primary pupils because they found a connection between intonation and certain kinds of reading errors. They also worked out ways to get reading instruction usage from the awareness of juncture, pitch, and stress. They took the lessons on juncture, pitch, and stress to the primary classrooms and were successful in showing the children how these elements of intonation are related and how they operate, using sentences, oral reading of unpunctuated passages, and questions, respectively.
