lexiphobia

A fear of reading; especially in public due to the anticipation of words that are difficult to pronounce or are unfamiliar to the reader.
When asked to read the Preamble to the Constitution, a student froze mid-sentence and fainted on stage. This was subsequently attributed to lexiphobia.
