Reading Aloud is
OK
While many people think it’s crazy to read something aloud, one thing we tutors like to have students do when they come to the Writing Center is read their paper aloud because, as we have found out, reading aloud to oneself can actually make the reader catch mistakes he/she normally wouldn’t have with only a quick silent read. So, before you call it quits or immediately come to the Writing Center (where we are always willing to help and share our English skills in writing, formulating ideas, etc.), read your paper(s) aloud or have another pair of eyes look at your paper. A piece of friendly advice, though, have some courtesy and read out loud somewhere remote or kindly ask your roommate to leave the room for a couple minutes.
