What is silent reading?

Silent reading is the process of reading without vocalizing the words. It involves mentally processing the text, allowing the reader to understand and interpret the meaning of the words and sentences internally. Silent reading is a common practice that can enhance reading speed, comprehension, and concentration. It is often used for personal study, leisure reading, and when reading in environments where speaking aloud would be disruptive. Silent reading helps develop cognitive skills and allows readers to engage deeply with the text without the need for verbal expression.
