oralizing

Putting into speech

Oralizing is speaking aloud, particularly reading text out loud rather than silently.

The term appears in educational contexts where students oralize written material to improve comprehension or fluency: The teacher had them oralize the passage.

It can also mean converting something into spoken form or expressing ideas verbally rather than in writing.
