Davening During Torah Reading?

If you walk into shul during laining, are you not supposed to daven while they're reading the Torah? If not, are you allowed to daven between aliyahs? and also, what if you know that the only way youll be able to catch up with the minyan is if you daven during the reading of the Torah, are you still not supposed to?
-Daniella Grodko

Very practical question!
Yes-one is not supposed to daven during kriat haTorah. One may daven during aliyot. If you know that you will likely be stuck in a situation where you will need to daven during kriat hatorah to catch up, better to do some advance planning and daven shmoneh esreh at home and then go into shul for kriat haTorah.
