Do you move your mouth when you read?

[Candymudzo]

I don't move my mouth when reading.I find it rather annoying when someone reads silently while moving their mouth,whispers or mumbles.If you are reading while moving your mouth i believe it should be loud then.like when reading for an audience.

I only do that when I'm reading in a noisy environment and I'm finding it difficult to concentrate

[ccranston]

I do this quite a bit! I honestly don't even realize that I'm doing it until I catch someone staring or laughing at me. I laugh right along, can't help it lol! I'm not sure if mouthing the words helps me because I'm unaware of doing it. It just seems to happen naturally. I caught myself re-reading and mouthing the words on this post!

[Mallory Porshnev]

I usually don't do this unless I'm reading something very complex or difficult for me to get into.

[MikleoKrein]

I sometimes read while mouthing the words of my favorite sentence. Only when I'm alone though, lmao!~

Especially romance novels, it's my guilty pleasure.

Nope. That slows you down.

[Bukari]

Oh no, but I know that is obvious in some readers.

No, I don't move my mouth when I read, but if I do decide to read by my lonesome, sometimes I voice the characters and their emotions. Then, I feel like I'm being silly and stop. That's rare for me to even read aloud, though. If a charcater does something in the story that does not make sense, I voice an opinion out loud, and argue it. However, I realize what's written is written, so there's no point. And I continue on.

I used to as a kid. I feel like that's how all kids learn to read and comprehend at some point. Now I just read in my head

[Taekwondoqueen]

I sometimes will do this, but only when I am alone. I don’t is this helps me to take in information better, but it is a habit to me.

[Imagine14]

No, when reading, I go completely still.

[arinola grace]

I don't move my lips while reading silently unless i want to pronounce a word or do a grammar check.

[Jennifer Fernandez]

Only when reading english books. I'm very bad at english pronunciation and sometimes I practice while I read.

[Kiisme]

Sometimes when I'm reading over a sentence and I'll be like wtf.
