Noah Text is highly effective for new readers, struggling readers, and those with dyslexia. Noah Text simulates easier language systems by highlighting critical word patterns. This gives readers the independence to learn unknown words on their own while at the same time enhancing fluency and ease of reading. This is all done while leaving words intact. Noah Text (Syllables + Long Vowels) provides maximum benefit by highlighting syllable breaks and accentuating long vowels, similar to an acute accent mark which is used in many languages. Noah Text (Just Syllables) is for slightly more skilled readers and highlights syllable breaks only.Noah Text is currently endorsed by Educational Diagnostician and Consultant, Dr. Miriam Cherkes-Julkowski. Noah Text also falls within the National Reading Panel’s guidelines of evidence-based reading instruction and can be used as an instructional scaffold.The English writing system is one of the most complex, unpredictable writing systems in the world requiring two to three times more reading instruction time and practice. Thus, Noah Text simply makes our writing system more predictable by simulating what predictable languages have that we don’t — visibly clear and consistent patterns! The research behind this technique is clear. As humans, we learn the world around us through patterns. Noah Text is simply giving readers the key to the puzzle!Noah Text is also available in both "The Mystical Years" and "Zach"(early readers) series by Noah Text founder and creator Sarah K. Blodgett.

In the north-west Pacific, on the remote island of Cortoza, a generation of Nokali, the modern tribe, await their promised fortune - it's a promise that their evil president has no intention of fulfilling. For decades, he has scoured the land, fearful of an enemy he couldn’t even see, in search of a sacred treasure that was nothing but a legend. Now, on the verge of his greatest discovery, not even the Shahili, the lost tribe, wish to thwart his plans. Instead, the most unlikely of obstacles stands between him and his fortune – a 12-year-old student from the Alvarez Academy of the Uninitiated – a boy named, Xavier Wintersbee. Impatient to join his father on his latest archaeological mission, Xavier, unwittingly, begins an unsanctioned adventure that leads him deep into the forest of the fifth quarter. Before long, Xavier is caught in the middle of an ancient tribe’s bitter family feud, and innocently sparks a series of events leading to the collision of the two divided tribes of his island home – a battle foreseen centuries ago is about to begin! But before the battle, Xavier and his friends, Uma and Eli, must survive a life or death mission to save the legendary riches of their homeland, and start an even greater quest… to find the one, true ruler destined to lead the Nokali from oppression, and reunite the two tribes of their island home.
