Interactive Reading is a broad category of activities. But they all share the same core: you're reading something (without any audio) and are stopping to look up or puzzle out new words or concepts.
Interactive reading (without any audio) is a great activity to do, but isn't recommended for beginners. The lack of audio means that you're not connecting the spoken and written language, and purely text based content tends to be more difficult.
If you're a big fan of reading and want to do pure interactive reading earlier in the process, look for graded readers or reread translations of favorite stories you already know!
Once you're in the more intermediate and advanced stages, incorporating reading into your routine is excellent for improving and expanding your vocabulary.
Picking appropriate content is the hardest part of reading, at every level. Don't be afraid to try out different sources for your reading material. Ideally, it feels just a little bit too hard for you, but understandable with the help of tools.
