I have seen what you describe as well!!! It really helps some students to read aloud.
Though I think this oral vs. silent reading dilemma varies from person to person. I personally comprehend much better when I read silently! I can remember this even from when I was in school. I would volunteer to read a few paragraphs aloud from the social studies book in class and sound very fluent, but then when the next person read I would have to quickly go back and skim what I HAD JUST READ ALOUD because I didn't "get it" the first time. I think everyone is different.
