Bill: I agree that the match between oral and silent reading is not perfect, not close to perfect. But, when we are trying our best to determine how a child reads and what strategies he or she employs during reading, oral reading needs to be one of the ways we try to make sense of the reading. Is it the only way? Of course not. But it is one way. And if we accept that it is one way to gain understanding of a student's silent reading, then we have to accept that there is a relationship between oral and silent reading.
BTW. I can hear the voices of authors while reading. I can certainly hear the passion of the various postings sent in response to my own comments. Moreover, I found myself reading the various postings aloud, repeatedly and in different ways to get at the voice of the writer.

The miscues that a reader makes when reading orally reflect the processes that a reader uses when reading silently. Oral reading is a reflection of silent reading." But often when a kid reads aloud, he or she can hear the miscue and can correct the error. They don't have an inner voice when reading silently so they don't "hear" the miscue in their heads...
