When I was in university I learned to read out loud when I was studying because it forced me to slow down. It also means you are absorbing the information with more of your senses - you're hearing and speaking it as well as seeing it. If the text was hard to understand then I would give it a quick, silent read through first, and then do a slower out-loud read through while taking notes. I still do this with reading material related to my work when I really need to learn it. However, I always read for pleasure silently.
Another studying trick I learned was to put soft classical music on in the background. At the time I wasn't a big fan. But the only time I listened to classical music was when I was studying/reading text books - it got so that as soon as I'd hear classical music, I was immediately in a studying mindset.

Dazed ... For myself, the answer is usually no. However, if I'm having trouble absorbing a particular segment of the printed matter or if I have too many distractions, these are cases where I WOULD read brief passages aloud with the hope that I might better understand the part that was stumping me.

I usually read out loud to understand something better, yes. It also means you have to concentrate on what you are reading, you can't space out.

Most of the time just reading it to myself but there are some things I just don't get until I read it out loud.

I do, and in fact, I believe that most people do. I believe that when we form words verbally, we tend to pay more attention to how they connect. On the other hand, when I read to myself (IE:silently), I tend to read several lines at a time, and so pay LESS attention to every single word, but rather get the gist of a paragraph. This is MUCH quicker,obviously, and most of the time is adequate, but sometimes I at least mouth the words, to get a real fix on a particular idea.

I personally understand something better if I write it.

No...but remember that everything varies from person to person.

No. If I read it slower, yes.
