Adam Armstrong gave Blackburn the lead in the eighth minute and top scorer Bradley Dack claimed his fourth of the campaign shortly after the interval to increase Rovers’ lead.
John Swift reduced the gap but, despite mounting late pressure, Reading were unable to find an equaliser. It was their third successive league defeat.
