This is an interesting article by a writer who finds that reading a book aloud helps him with comprehension. In fact, he says reading out loud was the custom for most of history, to the point that Augustine wrote about a fellow monk who read silently and thought it was a strange habit:

I certainly never thought about it that way. I even came across the anecdote about Augustine before, but that writer clearly thought that the other guy's silent reading was more advanced, and apparently thought that Augustine admired that ability. Unfortunately I can no longer find that article that I read so long ago.
