Comment The direction of shift is rather from B to A. The Hebrew cognate drš has the meaning 'to seek, to enquire about, to investigete, to search' (HALOT 233) - probably this develops into 'to study', and hence into 'to read'.

قَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ


He read, or recited (as a teacher, or an informant), to him the Quran (as a pupil, or learner).

Reference Lane: 2503
Comment

قَرَأَ signifies properly "he read, or recited, the Scripture chanting"; like as أَنْشَدَ properly signifies “he recited” poetry “chanting with a high voice", for Scripture and poetry are usually chanted. Then, he read, or recited, anything in any manner, without, or from, or in, a book. (Lane ibid.)

to read aloud -> to read (= recite) -> to study. learn
