Silent reading

Silent reading is reading done silently, or without speaking the words being read.

Not to be confused with Sustained silent reading.

Before the reintroduction of separated text (spaces between words) in the Late Middle Ages, the ability to read silently was considered rather remarkable.

In contrast, reading aloud activates many more parts of the brain due to the dual-route of feedback when pronouncing and reading.
