On a more serious note to Malcolm Hayward's quip about his
Taiwanese student, the Chinese Language, and the part about
"a writing system not based on sounds", I found M.A.K.
Halliday's book SPOKEN AND WRITTEN LANGUAGE (ISBN:0194371530)
useful for addressing the relationship between speech and writing,
although he doesn't primarily address the issue of reading silently.
Hope this helps.

Regards,
Vincent
