Are they the main waits?
Are they a real problem? The purpose of a DBMS is to read files, so in the end, when all is well tuned, read wait are the major waits (the opposite is wrong: waits on read does not mean your application is well tuned).

Michel

Scattered reads are typically the result of a Full Table Scan.
Sequential Reads are typically the result of an Index Scan.

Full Table Scans are not always bad. If they are caused by an ETL or batch job processing large volumes of data, they are probably good. If your statistics were isolated to a period where only OLTP users were on the system, then a high Scattered Reads probably would indicate a problem.
