Sounds like you need to form question that raise your curiosity.
Activation means to get active with reading. Unlike regular reading where we read word for word and hope it makes sense. To get active ask question... who, what, why, when. where, how. If you're not sure where to start look in the table of content and turn the heading that most interest you at the time into a question then jump to the chapters for the answers.
