*handwave* These aren't the plot holes you're looking for. ;)
I always imagined that Montag had been taught to read as a child, whether covertly or before it was banned. He would only have a child's reading ability, so it would take him a while to learn to read fluently. Of course, none of that is in the book. I just have a bad habit of plugging these holes as I go along. :)
