Timothy, it sounds as though, if you are reading slowly, the problem arises in the gaps between the words - if you know what I mean. We might think we are reading continuously but if we pay attention we can sometimes notice that our brain pays attention to what we are reading, then does something else, then pays attention again, then does something else...and so on. So, maybe as a first step it might be useful just to pay attention to how much you read before you get distracted and then notice as quickly as you can that you have got distracted and out your attention back on the reading. So, what you are doing as a "second activity" is paying attention - and this kind of fills up the gaps.
Good luck!
