Definition
宣读 (xuāndú) means 'to read out' a formal document, verdict, or statement to an audience in an official setting. It is more formal and official than 朗读 (lǎngdú, 'read aloud'), which is used for general reading practice or literature, and differs from 朗诵 (lǎngsòng, 'recite with expression'), which is artistic performance.
