It is not available 100% of the time on any web site but some sites appear to work better than others. Go to www.bbc.co.uk/news
And then navigate down to one of the headings linking to a news story. Hit the link and when the page opens simply hit command shift R. Nearly all of the time Safari Reader will simply start reading the important text from the opened page without you having to navigate all the junk links etc. The same function is available in iOS Safari but you have to hit the reader button there.

In a previous conversation someone said they liked to add articles from Vienna to "Safari Reader". So I carried on using that phrase. Now I notice Vienna actually calls that option "add to Safari reading list". So now looking at it yes this is where my articles are listed. It seems useful but I seem to get stuck in it sometimes and not be able to get focused back on other tabs/bits of the window. Would like to try and get the Safari Reader working as well though but every time I look at it in the menu it's dimmed. Does this just depend on the website or is there something I need to do to enable it or something? Could anyone send me an url which should work with the Reader so I can see if it's working?
