For example, you could ask questions: * Seeking criticism, such as “I think section x is the weakest part, what are some alternative arguments?” * Promoting understanding, such as “Can you think of 2 more examples of <concept I just introduced>?” * Stimulating research, such as “I think this model can be applied to area y, does anyone have suggestions for how to do this?”
This might help get readers out of passive consumption mode, and into thinking about something they could comment about. It would also make the writing more useful.
