Activation - superreading and dipping or skittering is a pass.
Make sure you have a well formed purpose why you are reading a book. What do you want to know? Why do you want to know something from that particular book? Have clear questions you would like the author of the book to answer for you. When your questions are clear you look where you are likely to find the answer - table of content and index will help give you clues. Then when you superread you know the answer is there on the page.
Also turning chapter headings and subheadings into questions usually helps to decide if you need to know more about a particular section. If you turn a subheading into a question and you know the answer you know you don't need to spend time superreading that section.
When you come across one that you cannot easily answer you superread and dip the following section. Because the chapter or subheading was in your question you know the answer follows in that section.
