I have never moved my mouth when I read. I don’t find it weird if people do it, I just have found that I never do.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no, there are times when I'm too focused and it happens. I guess it's not a bad thing.

t's actually quite common for people to move their mouths or whisper while reading, and it's not weird at all. Everyone has their own unique reading habits, and what matters most is finding what works best for you. It can be annoying tho

I used to always do this but I’ve worked on it cause it turned into me just speaking books out loud and that’s annoying ha! I do sometimes now especially if it’s a very tense part of a book and I’m excited and reading quickly

Usually not. but if I am trying to understand what the writer is conveying or trying to focus on what I am reading if I am getting distracted, then yes I will move my mouth.
