Maybe you want to take a look at TODO dependencies (info "(org) 
TODO dependencies") set `org-enforce-todo-dependencies' to t, and 
do something like

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  * TODO Read book
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ORDERED:  t
  :END:
  ** TODO Pages 1-150
  ** TODO Pages 151-300
   
#+END_EXAMPLE

Then when closing one of the sub headlines, schedule the next one.

Best,
