意味

Reading silently; silent reading. The act of reading text to oneself without vocalising the words.

A Sino-Japanese compound noun and suru-verb (黙読する). In contrast to 音読 (ondoku, reading aloud), 黙読 is the more common mode of reading for adults and is associated with speed and study efficiency. The term appears in educational contexts discussing literacy development and reading comprehension strategies. Some Japanese language research compares 黙読 and 音読 for vocabulary retention and oral production, finding distinct benefits to each approach.
