ברכות טז,א

There are two places that need kavono
1. krias shma SA O’CH 63,4 61,4-6
2. tefila SA O’CH 98,1

We are more lenient with krias shma than tefila. The enphasis is on the first parsha because of kabolas oul malchus shomayim, but the main kavono is at the first pasuk such that if he is not mechaven, he must repeat it. He should be mechaven that Hashem is One in the heavens and earth in all four directiions and he is reading krias shma to be yotze it and the name and honor of His is blessed for ever and ever.
