Noah Text LLC was founded in 2016 by Sarah Blodgett, who had spent years refining the methodology she had developed to help dyslexics and other struggling readers read more easily and fluently. She began her journey as a concerned mother whose son was dyslexic and struggled to read. Working with Miriam Cherkes-Julkowski, a professor at the University of Connecticut, Sarah realized it was possible to make English emulate the more predictable writing systems of other languages (such as Finnish and Spanish). This realization led her to invent Noah Text®, which helps readers decode text by highlighting syllable breaks within multi-syllable words and providing clues to vowel sound pronunciation.
Noah Text® has been proven in a number of studies to improve readers' fluency, comprehension, accuracy, and stamina. The New Century Education Foundation has integrated Noah Text® into its Intelligent Tutoring System, which is helping inmates in juvenile and adult prison dramatically improve their reading skills. All of the books offered at the Noah Text Bookstore -- well-known children's classics as well as books by contemporary authors -- are rendered in Noah Text®, opening a world of reading to dyslexics, English-language learners and others who struggle to read.
