She can listen while she moves around at this age. It's fine. Read the book aloud, and eventually, she will start showing an interest in it. You might start out with poetry - the meter and rhyme may make it more appealing. My son loved the poems in "When We Were Very Young" by A.A. Milne when he was an infant and toddler.

I have always had internal narration, and prior to my TBI, I could read about 100 pages an hour of technical information with better than 95% retention. Reading fiction was faster. It wasn't uncommon for me to blow through six or seven 400-500 page novels in an average weekend while still having plenty of time to do other stuff. So I don't think that listening to the "audiobook in your head" is necessarily the reason for a slower reading speed.
