If you walk into a grocery store without a shopping list, you wander around and forget why you went in.
Reading works the exact same way โ without a goal, your eyes look at words, but your brain forgets what they mean.

A reading purpose is your personal mission or reason for reading a text before you begin.
When you pick a purpose, your brain turns on a mental spotlight that highlights the exact details you need.

If your goal is entertainment, you adjust your expression to show excitement, fear, or humor as characters talk.
