Anyone else have issues with reading out loud?

Post Reply New Topic

I did when I was younger - can remember my classmates occasionally commenting on how I "read too fast", so I wasn't all that confident with reading out loud after awhile.

I don;t really like my reading voice, and there are lots of words I don't like to say. And also I'm shy. Very shy.

That's me, amazing reader who can't read aloud

The problem with reading out loud is that you have to learn to read slowly because the tongue isn't as fast as the brain, you also need to learn to predict when the sentence is going to finish (because of the rythm), maybe the trick is looking quickly for the end of a sentence before starting to read it. People who have never switched to inner reading doesn't have this problem because they always read at tongue speed.

I hate to read out loud. I actually forget how to pronounce words and my mind just goes blank. I sound like an idiot when I read out loud. That was one of the reasons why I hated school as a child. In college I didn't have to worry about reading out loud so I was lucky. The only time I have to read out loud now a days is when I am doing a speech and have it in front of me. I can't really memorize speeches since I have memory difficulty. The thing is that I practice the speech in front of my parents so I know everything. My reading ability one day can be total dyslexia and the next day can be closer to hyperlexia where I can figure out everything.

Yes, a lot of issues. I stress out a lot knowing that I am the target of a group and it affects my reading. I can read quite well, but if it is to a bunch of people or even to a person that I am not acquainted with, I stutter and lose my wording constantly and freeze up, which makes it worse. Not fun at all.

I have problems with other people reading out loud; they read so damn so. As for me, I often stumble a bit.

I'm bad at reading out loud. I'm even better at public speaking than that.
As someone already said, I can't comprehend what I'm reading if I'm reading out loud and I stumble often.

I can't stand reading out loud. I can do okay at it now, after taking a speaking class and learning a few tricks.
I couldn't do it in grade school though, the other kids made fun of my pedantic speech and fast reading and I was so shy to begin with, that reading aloud in class utterly destroyed me as a kid. The kicker was that once the teachers realized I was a better reader than anyone there (comprehension-wise) they called on me twice as often as everyone else. I absolutely hated it and after a while (before fifth grade) I refused to read aloud in class unless threatened.
