Deep reading? Is this new?

Does describing the study of text content as “deep reading” add anything or does it encourage those new to the field to unnecessarily start from scratch? Before I focused mostly on technology integration, I would describe my research interests as content area reading and text-based study behavior. I am seriously just trying to figure out if the topics of interest from my background are different and if the large research base in topics such as summarizing, highlighting, annotating, and self-generated questions is being ignored. I see many of these same topics identified as a way to encourage deep reading.
