In grade school when we read aloud (taking turns in class), I would be able to read my section out loud, but have no idea what it said until I went back and "really" read it.

When I started reading out loud to my son, decades later, I finally learned how to "really" read at the same time as reading out loud. I also learned how to read ahead to see who was going to talk next so that I could do the voices properly. (Discworld books are great for this, because his writing really helps you know how to pronounce the dialog.)
