I am writing a literacy assessment for a parent and student. I am trying to find an easy way to say that her child uses 'inflection' in his voice while reading in quotations. We were told not to use any 'literacy language' in the assessment. How can I say this in another way?

He raises and lowers the tone and volume of his voice when reading to indicate and heighten meaning.

How about saying inflection. It's not a technical term, for Christ's sake. It's English. If the parent is too stupid to know what inflection means, they can look it up in that big book on the podium in the library.
Never dumb down, rather, raise others up.

Your child properly uses his voice when reading to indicate quotations.

You can say that the pitch of the child's voice rises and falls.

maybe: intonation, another tone of voice
(though I don't understand what's so bad about it oO)

you could say he raises his voice or makes it higher pitched.... you could just say he says it differently.

"animation" "character" "personality" "emphasis"
