Silent reading
Reading without speaking aloud / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Sustained silent reading.
Silent reading is reading done silently, or without speaking the words being read.[1]
Before the reintroduction of separated text (spaces between words) in the Late Middle Ages, the ability to read silently may have been considered rather remarkable, though some scholars object to this idea.[2][3][4]
In contrast, reading aloud activates many more parts of the brain due to the dual-route of feedback when pronouncing and reading.[5][6][7]
