A process for reading data (including verifying during programming) from a selected non-volatile storage elements of a group (e.g., NAND string) of non-volatile storage elements includes maintaining an intermediate voltage as a control gate voltage for an unselected non-volatile storage element and subsequently changing the control gate voltage for the unselected non-volatile storage element from the intermediate voltage to a read enable voltage. The control gate voltage for the selected non-volatile storage element is raised from a standby voltage (which is different than the intermediate voltage) to a read compare voltage. While the control gate for the selected non-volatile storage element is at the read compare voltage and the control gate for the unselected non-volatile storage element is at the read enable voltage, the state of the selected non-volatile storage element is sensed to determine information about the data stored in the selected non-volatile storage element.
