That's the point of turning the reading of messages off from the lock screen. If the phone is locked, then you just get the announcing of an alert and the time. If your phone is not locked, then the message is automatically read. I suppose if you don't want to hear messages read when they are received, then lock your phone until it is needed. I routinely listen to TuneIn Radio when getting ready for work. When I get new text messages, which are usually because one of my departmental colleagues are not coming in for work, they are automatically read out. I find this information helpful. However, if I ever don't want to hear a message read and want to leave my phone unlocked, I could also quickly do a 2 finger single tap on the phone to stop speech. I suppose turning the phone off is another option too, grin. I really have liked this option in VO to silence the reading of alerts and messages in the lock screen. I work in a state training center for the blind, and many of those blind folk have iOS devices. So to not have my fiance's message read out to me is a good thing since I don't want other people listening in to my personal texts. It sure beats telling friends and family not to text you at work, :)
