Dears,
I'd tried to use the skittering. But I was confused because before I use the PR on textbooks, I'd use the superreading and dipping on light books. I dipped the material with the mind probing questions. If some topics were not conformed to my purpose or mind probing questions, then I skipped it.

Now it comes to the real stage - the textbook, and I use the skittering to activate the book.
But in most cases most of the paragraphs are not conformed to my mind probing questions, and I still have to skittering it.

Then the mind probing questions are meaningless if we are skittering on the topics which are not relevant to the mind probing questions.

Without mind probing questions we still could go with the skittering.

So which is the best strategy for activating with skittering?
1. Go skittering on topics which are relevant to the mind probing questions. and in the last few minutes , we starting find other interesting topic for next activation.
2. Go skittering on all topics without mind probing questions. And skittering over and over again to get deeper understanding.

why are you activating without questions? If you want to understand a section of text used the precision questions, who, what when where why and how. To learn the subheading into a question.

So where to start the skittering?
From the first chapter to the end? And put more focus on the paragraphs which are concern to the precision questions?

Or Skittering on the subtitles which are relevant to the mind probing questions? If so, then we need a few minutes to search for other interesting questions to do the next activation, right?

Start skittering where you are inspired to start activating. Using which ever technique suits the material.
