+A {{FileReader}} has an associated <dfn id=readOperation>read operation</dfn> algorithm,
+given |blob|, a |type| and an optional |encodingName|,
+runs the following steps:
+
+1. Set the [=context object=]'s {{FileReader/result}} to `null`.
+1. Set the [=context object=]'s {{FileReader/error!!attribute}} to `null`.
+1. Let |stream| be the result of calling [=get stream=] on |blob|.
+1. Let |reader| be the result of [=get a reader|getting a reader=] from |stream|.
+1. Let |bytes| by an empty [=byte sequence=].
+1. Let |chunk| be the result of [=read a chunk|reading a chunk=] from |stream| with |reader|.
+1. Let |isFirstChunk| be true.
+1. [=In parallel=], while true:
+  1. Wait for |chunk| to be fulfilled or rejected.
+  1. If |chunk| is fulfilled, and |isFirstChunk| is true,
+     [=queue a task=] to [=fire a progress event=] called {{loadstart}} at the [=context object=].
