I visited another synagogue for the seventh day of Pesach, and noticed that during the torah reading (which is from B'shalach), there were parts that the congregation read along with the reader. These phrases weren't marked in the chumash I was using to follow the reading, and I don't now remember where they were, but it wasn't just parts of the Shira; there were phrases before.

Assuming this is a common practice and not just some quirk of that synagogue: which parts are done this way, and why? Is it also done on the regular Shabbat where we read B'shalach?

(I assume I would know this if I came from a more traditional background. It also turns out to be hard to search the web for, or at least I failed.)
