Hello Taile,
I would suggest to you that if you are having problems super reading and dipping as a form of activation, then you try skittering instead. After you get used to activating with skittering, then I believe that your brain will be better trained to pick up on the intuitive signals that let you know when to dip while super reading. I believe that sometimes skittering is more suited to activating some types of materials than is super reading, and vice versa.
