Abstract

By silent reading we mean the single process of getting the thought from the printed page; by oral reading we mean the getting and the giving of the thought from the printed page. Oral reading is, accordingly, a much more complex process than silent reading. Silent reading involves the recognition of the symbol - that is, the word - and the as sociation of the word with the idea or getting the thought. Oral reading involves the recognition of the symbol; the as sociation of the word with the idea - getting the thought; and the vocal utterance of the word. In other words, in silent reading we see the word and get the thought; in oral reading we see the word, get the thought, and speak the word - that is, transmit the thought to the audience.
