Pronouncing words orally as one reads does not slow the reading process.

a. True

b. False

It acually depends on the type of person that is pronouncing the words. Some people may have difficulties with reading in their head and some may have trouble speaking the words. My best educational guess would be false because of my own personal experiences when reading. I tend to have difficulties with pronouncing the words which takes time to correct when I could have said the word correctly and went on.

B. False. Generally reading in your head is faster than speaking it orally.
