There seems to be no official documentation about this, see support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1067528. However, I'd advise trying wrapping your article in <article> tag.

Firefox's readerview
Microsoft's Read later thing
Chrome's Readability
Evernote's Clearly

All of these have one thing in common.. they need text and they need properly formed HTML code behind them.

Having these two things in your website will not only make them work with these new features but will also give you the benefit of meeting more SEO requirements for better placement in the search engines.

You need at least one <p> tag around the text, you want to see in Reader View and at least 516 characters in 7 words inside the text.
