Hi Tony, It's good that you are getting the ropes of this OS. In my limited experience, that about levels I don't know how to set this up. I personally navigate using list view and do not know yet how to move through levels.
However, as for reading text on web pages in flat view as in a document, you must first interact with the HTML content. After that, when you want to read text, interact with the text itself. You will see that whenever you use your arrow keys, you will be able to read text. This is how I often do when I want to highlight text for copying to the clipboard or reading the spellings. I guess that some have got their own way of doing it, but I just interact with the text object and navigate the paragraphs comfortably.
