Answer:
Reading privately is better, as is confirmed in the Hadith that is recorded by a group of compilers with a Hasan chain of narration from the Prophet sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam, that he said:
“The person who recites the Qur’aan secretly is like he who gives charity secretly.” (Abu Dawud no.1333 and At-Tirmithi no.2919)
so just as giving charity secretly is better, so too is the case in reciting the Qur’aan, unless there is some benefit in reading out loud – for example, the Imaam who delivers a sermon or recites out loud. If reading in private is more beneficial for you, it is better, unless you need to recite to others for educational purposes.
