Reviews: “Blodgett’s use of Noah Text in the books she writes helps the struggling reader jump aboard with his peers, while reading a chapter book, and ends the cycle of him being left behind. I am extremely pleased with how Noah Text helps the struggling reader come into his own as a proficient reader. My son was quite pleased being able to read through the chapter book series on his own. He also enjoyed the story. I only hope Blodgett continues to author more books using Noah Text or can translate some pre-existing titles, so more children may enjoy the stories.” Jennifer Smeltser, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, The Trade Magazine for Homeschooling Families
“In my reading class we just finished your series The Mystical Years of Franklin Noah Peterson and my class absolutely loved it, mostly me. All of us read it faster than any other period our teacher teaches! Noah Text really helped me read. Being someone who has dyslexia and had cancer when they were two, it’s hard to find books that are easy for me to read!” Middle School Student with Dyslexia
