Read it slowly

Say the whole passage at a pace that lets you hear every word. Notice one part to repeat.

Fresh prints dry flat; Fred folds five prints.

Keep the change between the two parts of the phrase audible. Complete the last word in each part before reading the next part or stopping.

How to practise

Check your next reading

Read the ordinary sentence as a practical instruction. Check that the final condition or action is as clear as the opening.
