Say "going to" or "gonna" when reading a text?
Hi. Let us assume there is a text for a student to read and it contains the phrase "going to" and "want to." Should he/she read the both phrases as "going to" and "want to" or as "gonna" and "wanna"? The situation is reading for class and the phrases do not appear as part of a dialogue or dialogues.

If you are reading something out loud, like a book, you always read it exactly as it is written on the page. "going to" and "want to" are grammatically correct. "gonna" and "wanna" are the informal versions of "going to" and "want to".
