What is it for?

    In my day to day life it makes little difference however, despite being an avid reader and writer I struggle tremendously to read aloud.

    Thanks, I actually wanted to post that as a question. I would have thought that reading silently would be harder.

      I worked as a typesetter for years. I have a rather speedy reading pace (it isn’t inate, rather through practice)… but I do wonder if not having to ‘hear’ words changes the rhythm of reading.

      I’m also fascinated if other folk perform accents in their head whilst reading? Do different characters sound different or is there one ‘voice’ that acts as a narrator?
