You should not IMO be reading checklists while on the runway. I teach a memory flow that always occurs as you cross the hold line in order to take position.
It is:
Mixture ......Rich
Carb Heat....Cold
Strobes ........On
Transponder..Alt
The idea is to develop the muscle memory so that the check becomes automatic.
Note: The landing light goes on when cleared for takeoff (controlled airport) or starting yoru takeoff roll (uncontrolled airport)
