Teachers Find Increased Engagement and Confidence
Noah Text® is currently being used successfully in schools and reading clinics with both children and adults. Noah Text® is grounded in the science of reading. It supplements and bolsters instruction by continuing to show students the structure of words inside and outside the classroom. In turn, teachers are finding increased engagement and confidence in reading, and for some students, enabling them to read their very first chapter books. See Research and Reviews.
"Noah Text® is innovative and a real 'game-changer for those who struggle to read the printed word. Just like large printed books, Noah Text® should be available for all printed materials to alleviate the pain of reading for those with dyslexia." – Structured Literacy Specialist
Students and Individuals Enjoy Reading While Building Reading Skills
Noah Text® allows readers to see sound parts within words, providing a way for striving readers to decode and enunciate words that are too difficult to access. In turn, the improvement in reading accuracy and fluency frees up cognitive resources readers can devote to comprehending the meaning of the text, enabling them to truly enjoy reading while building reading skills.
To illustrate, we can take a word like "unbelievable" and write it in Noah Text® format as unbelievable. This system effectively breaks complex words into smaller and more familiar patterns (e.g., un + be + liev + a + ble) while keeping words intact. In turn, both resistant and striving readers begin to enjoy reading while simultaneously building reading skills! See The Science and "how it works" video.

Widely Recognized & Supported
Noah Text® was designed to address the fact that the English writing system is one of the most irregular, complex writing systems in the world, requiring two to three times more reading instruction time and practice than most other languages, leading to much higher rates of dyslexia and struggle. Noah Text® is a patent-pending method that simulates predictable writing systems by guiding the reader toward the most critical patterns in English. See The Research.
