another PS - I wouldn't be too far from saying a bit more bold statement - Nearly ALL people read more slowly and haltingly when reading aloud, no matter their age
PS Still and all, some kids (and adults) read more slowly and haltingly when reading aloud than when reading silently. Elisa: It very likely is slow and halting during silent reading -- readers who read in a slow an labored way orally, tend to read in a very similar way when reading silently. The relationship between oral and silent reading is very strong. That is why we use oral reading as a way to assess overall reading -- including silent reading.
