In some classes, students are used to reading aloud a new text and may request to do so; this has happened to me occasionally. But when I agree, I've often found that the students who have just read the sentence aloud cannot immediately tell me what it was about. They had been concentrating on decoding and pronunciation, and had no attention to spare for understanding meanings.

It's useful to hear students reading aloud at the early stages of learning, to make sure they are pronouncing letters or letter combinations appropriately. But later we should mostly focus on silent reading, which allows the full attention of the reader to be directed towards understanding, and is eventually much faster than reading aloud.

Many students do vocalize at the early stages - murmur the words to themselves, or just mouth them silently - as they read. But that's not as demanding as public reading. And you don't need to discourage it, if students feel it helps. They usually grow out of it naturally as they learn to read faster and find that vocalizing slows them down.

Reading aloud in English, moreover, is not in itself a very useful skill for most students' future lives, and therefore not something it is important to give practice in. It's essential for teachers, of course, or professional newsreaders. But even these people don't normally sight-read; there is usually some possibility of preparation and rehearsal.

So on all these counts, try to avoid asking students to read aloud text they encounter for the first time. However, if it's a text they are already familiar with and understand, reading aloud may be useful.
