Punctuations sometimes have a sound to them while you read. Whenever I represent a however or therefore, I pause in my reading to show commas. That is how I teach commas. Students get into the habit of understanding flow and the way punctuation works on that in their reading by doing such exercises of quickening or pausing in reading. This can also work with repetition while you read. If a student has used the wrong tense or even the wrong word in a sentence, keep saying it and show its tripping you up in the reading of the sentence. After, you can have a conversation as to why the word was used or what it means to them when they use it like that. Just as long as you are not setting off alarms and whistles to directly point out something I think you are fine. <br>
