On the iPhone's message app, long-press the globe icon and move up to switch off Predictive.

The iPhone's Siri could also help you to read emails and articles out loud. This setting is not activated by default, so you need to do it manually. Go to Settings, General, and Accessibility and switch on Speak Screen. Select whichever email or article that you would like Siri to read.
