Nice catch. Difficult to translate as it doesn't mean simultaneous reading. "secondary reading" doesn't mean that in English.

This doesn't seem to be a term in English and intuitively I'd assume "secondary" meant "supplementary" or "auxiliary" reading, when it's more like "parallel", "simultaneous", or "concurrent" reading.
