Go to...

Settings -> Speech

There should be a setting for "read aloud incoming text messages"... You can set it to never, always, or restrict it to only work on wired or Bluetooth headsets.

or could try:

Settings -> ease of access -> narrator (then turn off)

You could also check the speech settings under Cortana too. Set the "read text message" as always off. Attached are the screen shots.
