The Noah Text®-New Century program is a curriculum that builds upon early vocabulary and decodable text, and helps older students (functioning at grade level 4 and up) to build the larger vocabulary, the stamina, and the fluency to read and understand their first chapter books. With fluency, they are more able to develop the reading skills (literal comprehension, main idea, and inference) to better understand what they are reading. Most importantly, students develop an interest in reading. Pre and post testing demonstrates that students improve their fluency in plain text.

Noah Text® was designed based on the fact that the English writing system is one of the most irregular and complex writing systems in the world, requiring two to three times more reading instruction time and practice compared to most other languages. Studies also show this complexity leads to much higher rates of dyslexia. Noah Text® simulates predictable writing systems by guiding the reader toward the most critical patterns in English, bringing predictability to a system that is otherwise very complex.  Noah Text® is a patent pending method that alleviates the burdens an irregular writing system puts on working memory, while increasing fluency and speed, creating a more fluid and relaxed, independent reading experience.
