If you follow the book as to the skittering instructions. You're reading the first sentence and skittering over the words in the paragraph and then last sentence of each paragraph if you didn't understand or get what the paragraph is about.
Since you must get the first sentence and read the last sentence, how can you not be getting anything from skittering?
What is your skittering technique? Perhaps we can make suggestion for something different you could try.
Most people try superreading first since it's faster than skittering.

Mind map! Just reading and expecting to remember is the passive reading trap that people use to forget what they read.
