Recitation is the act of repeating or delivering a text, poem, or speech aloud from memory or with minimal reference to the original material. It is often used in educational settings to help students improve their speaking skills, enhance memory retention, and develop a deeper understanding of the content. In many cultures, recitation is a traditional practice, such as in Islam where the recitation of the Quran is highly valued. It can also be a part of literary events, where poets and authors share their works, allowing audiences to experience the rhythm and emotion of the text.
