I loathed Read Aloud Time also, although I have to admit that my internal pronunciation of some words might well have benefitted from paying more attention during Read Aloud Time. Well, IF it had included words like those. (Not comprehension, as I knew the definitions and usages, but when you read to yourself, you don't always spend time ensuring that you were pronouncing things in your head the way you should.) For instance, it was years and years before I actually had the need for the phrase 'faux pas' and I distinctly remember my mortification at discovering the x and s were silent. Somehow I doubt that phrase ever appeared in Read Aloud Time.
