A brief answer is that Montag wants to learn to read well enough so that he can understand what he is reading. He might be able to pronounce or "call" words, but he can't read well enough to understand the deeper meanings behind the surface of the words.
Faber simply tells Montag that he can help him, but that won't satisfy him. Montag wants someone to vent to as well. He doesn't completely understand why the burning of books is the law, and eventually becomes a rebel against this system of rules.
