Reading

なお
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it probably uses the kun'yomi reading. You haven't learned this reading yet, so here's a mnemonic to help you:

When is the best time to use the word furthermore? Right now (なお)! That's because you've just finished saying what you originally wanted to say, and now, you've realized there's even more you want to say.
