I love reading out loud 😁 it gets me into character 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️👩🏻‍🏫

[@andrewcraig11781]

I used to do this as a kid. My Mother was a teacher and encouraged this. It’s amazing the simple things your forget as an adult.

[@thememelad9190]

I showed this video to my sister and she started reading youtube captions, i have been awoken by skibidi toilet music every night for 2 years, my life is a living nightmare, a constant distant "skibidi dop dop dop yes yes", i cry for help, nobody answers.

[@jrsthesedays925]

Nice made up story 👍🏼

[@andrewcraig11781]

😂

[@sirijanthakur]

I've been doing it since i was in 6th grade, and to be honest my memory naturally got very strong through it + understanding is building on its on, as its like explaining the context while speaking, I usually move my hands as well while doing active recall. The combination is very strong(communication skills + vocabulary benefits). My speed while reading outload has also increased to about 140 wpm, which is quite fine since reading slower means retaining better(better understanding too) anyhow. I follow reading in mind when searching google, or reading descriptions. In sharing locations i usually reduce my voice, and no ones disturbed. Hope this helps someone who's double minded for reading in mind or outload, I've always been an outload reader and am currently pursuing my medical college exams.

[@maria_m0308]

I used to study like this at school and university. I was very successful. Now I'm a teacher and I recommend this learning method to my students. Thank you for this video and greetings from Spain 🤩❤️

[@AbsolutelyStudying]

Excellent!

[@forestduffe5576]

I read out loud and it's been an impact for me . How about conversation skills

[@PauliePizza]

I read out loud solely to keep my mind from wandering. It still does but not as much. I also follow along each book with sparknotes.

[@AbsolutelyStudying]

Thanks for sharing! This is a good habit

[@UNCOVR]

I recently picked up this habit not long ago; it makes me a little more accountable with the material I'm reading, mainly if I require storing the information. I may come across an unfamiliar word or expression, especially a medical term, where I would halt my reading, grab my phone, and then copy/paste the word with the definition, saving it into notes.

[@AbsolutelyStudying]

That is a great practice!

[@gregafrane]

Wow Sweetheart, my name is Greg and I just want you to know that your video has helped someone in Ghana. Good content. Like how you sound too. Great work you are doing.

[@AbsolutelyStudying]

Thank you! You are so kind

[@InceyWincey]

Reading out loud can help with memory retention, it depends on what sort of learner you are. For some people the act of engaging the circuits of the brain for speech is distracting and hinders the internalisation of information. Experiment with sounding out the sentences in your head (subvocalising) and reading out loud to see which helps more. Both subvocalisation and reading out loud have exactly the same benefits when it comes to memory depending on your personal learning style. Reading out loud is unique in its improvement of your fluency of speech.

[@samedichom6591]

[@AbsolutelyStudying]

I'm so happy it helped ☺️

[@precisionhoops3652]

This really works!!

[@MochaRose990]

are you still doing it?

[@indiaac1]

I wanted to get more comfortable reading outloud. I’ve been on a reading journey and recording myself privately while I read books to document my progress- I notice I understand the material I’m reading better and don’t get lazy and when I get distracted in thought I catch myself faster because I start messing up reading haha

[@indiaac1]

I read a few chapters out-loud every night sometimes more than a few sometimes less 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@tenemsko1505]

I read out loud once every two weeks🔥

[@ZaidKhan-wp7ix]

Try doing it more frequently and before you know it you'll notice the benefits

[@LubaLuba1]

Great tips but what if you stop you don’t know the word is there a way to improve this?

[@michaelcoenen8033]

I often read out loud

[@V-Pine-videos]

If reading aloud is important to effective study or not

[@SteinGauslaaStrindhaug]

That's funny because for me it's completely the opposite; reading out loud or even just reading "out loud" in my head (i.e. thinking the sounds as if I was supposed to say them out loud) or "internal voice acting" as I often think of it; slows me down enormously and completely bypasses my reading comprehension. And when I read normally without any internal sound generation; I do misread words, swap them and read the wrong line and skip here and there, but I notice the errors and can re-read and understand what I'm reading; when I read out loud I don't notice what I'm saying and I certainly don't notice if I'm saying the wrong words or skip lines etc. I sound like I'm barely able to read. And if you force me to read something out loud without time to read it silently first; I will not be able to answer almost any questions about what I just read. Even if the text is huge font and triple line spacing so I don't stumble and misread as much; I don't understand much while reading out loud; because I speak so much slower than I'm physically able to speak; and when there's no struggle to visually decipher the text itself it turns into a mechanical boring process where my mind wanders and I start to think about other things while reading. That's the same problem when I listen to people speak; especially if it's something that is not that interesting or they speak slowly; so I often have to increase the playback speed to avoid getting bored. For instance this video is perfect for me at 1.75 speed.

[@AbsolutelyStudying]

The fact that you are experimenting with and constantly optimizing your study strategy shows that you are on the right track. Keep up that self awareness and commitment to understanding and nothing can stop you!

[@MrWhite-fl9pg]

Exactly my experience as well.

[@jrsthesedays925]

0:47 I read out loud only when reading books in foreign languages

[@Chanokh]

I keep trying to get better by saying there vocabulary sets are obsolete.

[@kernowarty]

All the videos of people reading in this are reading silently.

[@jeanlucas2592]

Hahaha

[@95gmn]

Facts

[@AbsolutelyStudying]

Great observation! I make a much better tutor than I do a video editor 😂

[@biaobebin198]

[@serviustullus7204]

Valley Girls read out loud. Oh my God, yes!

[@AbsolutelyStudying]

Literally OMG! 😍💀

[@magda1988g]

i always read in my mind , when i tried to read out loud i didnt understand what im reading :/

[@AbsolutelyStudying]

It's okay. We all learn differently so there is no one-size-fits-all solution for studying. What is important is you keep trying new thinga and giving them a chance. Keep what works and move on from what hinders. Happy studying!

[@Lifer143]

Reading out loud is best for comatose patient....

[@AbsolutelyStudying]
