You can query the V$SEGMENT_STATISTICS view for this information. Look for tables that have a high number of physical reads and logical reads. A query similar to the following might provide what you are looking for:

SELECT t.owner,t.table_name,lr.value+pr.value AS total_reads FROM (SELECT owner,object_name,value FROM v$segment_statistics WHERE statistic_name='logical reads') lr, (SELECT owner,object_name,value FROM v$segment_statistics WHERE statistic_name='physical reads') pr, dba_tables t WHERE lr.owner=pr.owner AND lr.object_name=pr.object_name
  AND lr.owner=t.owner AND lr.object_name=t.table_name ORDER BY 3 desc;
