Shnayim Mikra with Chazan

May one “read” shnayim mikreh v’echad targum during Krias HaTorah on Shabbos (somewhat keeping up with the bal koreh.)

Answer:

This can be done, and many do it.

Although some poskim write that one should preferably remain silent during the reading, the Mishnah Berurah (285:14) writes that it is fine to read quietly with the baal korei (see also Aruch Hashulchan 285:3).

Note that there is a special virtue of completing shnayim mikra on Friday.
