Especially when you are like 22?

I still count on my fingers... I find that the only people who find it a sign of low intelligence are those who are annoyed by it for whatever strange, Seinfeld kinds of obsessive compulsive reasons they may have. Strange coincidence huh?
There reasons are NOT my fault or my problem! Nor am I in the habit of making them my problem by agreeing with them.
Remember what I always tell my kids...
Nothing of a personal nature about you, is ever true until you decide to agree with it by reacting to it with anything other than indifference and denial.
My oldest son wears designer clothes to school and the popular kids call him a poser because he isin't one of them (he is all honors and in the chess club and will be a high paying executive someday) but he still likes nice clothes. He actually went to school on a cold day once without his hoodie because he didn't want to be called a poser~
The popular kids won and my son made it true... not because they said it, but because he agreed with them. See what I mean?
Needless to say... that never happened again as soon as I realized it! They were just jealous and wanted to conform him to their judgement to get their control back!
Don't worry about the opinions of as*sholes honey! You are you and you are just fine!

It is very important especially if you are conveying the thoughts off the paper to sound of a play, (actor/actress). It is certainly a better way of learning than the input of no sound as we have proven that sound works better in learning for brain retention purposes. I would say to you to continue reading out loud, and if it annoys someone then do it somewhere you cannot be heard. President Lincoln as young Abe in the Cabin with the crack in the ceiling for light read aloud, thereby became a very good public speaker and he was not of any low intelligence. That statement is an opinion of a very ignorant and illogical person. Typical brainwashing technique.

To the answerer above me who went on a diatribe about her precious son: stick to the question, will ya? Jeez. Anyway, bro to answer YOU: I used to think that a person who couldn't read without moving their lips was most likely not very intelligent. Maybe even slow. But since I have gotten into psychology I've discovered that there are many type of intelligence. For example, that person who can only read aloud might be able to take apart and re-assemble a V12 engine blindfolded, which I could never do, but I CAN read very well silently. So who's to say who's smarter? Me or him? I would say he has poor reading skills, though, but I wouldn't condemn his overall intelligence just yet.

Here is a bit of trivia. In ancient times, if people read without speaking the words, others were terribly frightened of them. So maybe your reading out loud is a way of being friendlier. :)

it is not a sign of low intelligence to read out loud unless you can't read with out moving your mouth. I taught my son at 9 years old to read just in his head with out saying what he was reading, is that what you mean???

not low intelligence... that doesn't mean anything about your other cognitive abilities. some people are more verbal and some are more visual when learning.

Probably just a bad habit.

Only if they're reading about Dick and Jane and their dog, spot.
