Full-length books can be authored with the QuikScan Views book template. Here, from the QuikScan Library, is a new edition of John Ruskin's Unto This Last. You will notice that important passages are highlighted and the least valuable passages appear in sepia text.

The ActiveReading style of QuikScan entices student readers to engage with the story through various kinds of embedded questions. In addition, instructors can enforce careful reading by treating these questions as assigned work. In our edition of Hans Christian Andersen’s “Little Mermaid,” there are both simple factual questions and questions that ask for deep thought. Other active-reading options include removing some summaries (and possibly asking students to write the missing summaries) and shortening the reading assignment by allowing students to read some of the summaries in place of the author’s text. Students can also QuikScan texts as a collaborative project.
