Silent reading
Silent reading means reading without saying the words out loud.[1]
Long ago, people didn't have spaces between words in their writing, so it was unusual to read silently.[2][3]
Some people think silent reading can cause problems with thinking, but many schools still encourage it.[4]
Reading out loud uses more parts of the brain because it involves speaking and reading at the same time.[5][6][7]
