But don't we all read better when we are reading text of high interest or on a topic that we're knowledgeable about? Isn't that what most of our reading is about? When we need to read something on an unfamiliar topic we fall back on a variety of strategies to help us get through the reading and this reading usually has an explicit purpose - fixing an appliance, setting up a new game or program, etc. I don't see this kind of reading as negative.
