Hi Tom

The inclusion of the word "out" doesn't make any sense to me.
I would just say "She loves being read to."

Hi,

You sometimes hear 'She loves being read aloud to', although 'aloud' does seem redundant. I guess it just adds emphasis.

It makes more sense to say 'aloud' in a sentence like 'Mary was reading aloud'.
