Is it okay to read the text while repeating or better not to?

Personally, I rely on text as little as possible.

Reading while mimicking is like riding a bicycle with a 3rd wheel.

Resist the temptation to cling to visual aids and let the speech soak in.

Indeed, the transcript is needed to check the spelling and the translation is needed to check the meaning. But that’s all.
