read-aloud
Voice a book
Read-aloud describes something meant to be spoken rather than read silently, or the act of reading text to others: The teacher did a read-aloud of Charlotte's Web.
As an adjective, it modifies texts or sessions: read-aloud books, read-aloud time.
The term appears frequently in early childhood education, where hearing language spoken aids literacy development.
