I'm not certain why the concept is so hard to grasp: Some people read differently than others. Some people go across the page reading the words not as the associated sounds, but as the concepts linked to those sounds. Deaf people do this by default. Others read along and either inwardly vocalize or silently read along, sometimes even with their lips moving silently over a particularly delicious passage--and even when they're not making any noise, a tongue twister on the page will gag them.

As a writer, you need to learn to appeal to all your readers, not just the ones who read the same way you do.
