We have ABE classes at our local treatment center twice a week. Yesterday, I had one of our instructors take two of the Junkyard Dan books to give to two of our very low level readers who are in there. She had the two of them sit across from each other and take turns reading them to each other. She said it was hysterical...the two of them sat and laughed, then called her over and said to her, "You're not going to believe what just happened in this book!" and proceeded to tell her. They were so excited about the book! When it was break time, one of them came back from break early, immediately picked the book up and started reading - this from someone who hates to read! So...when are you going write some more? Bev Dye |
| When I took my first look at the Junkyard Dan series I could hardly wait to share them with teachers at my school. I had spent years as a teacher trying to find reading material for my very low reading level high school students. These students were embarrassed to read the books that were at their reading level but could not read well enough to read even low level high school material. Junkyard Dan is perfect for these kids. I'm the librarian now and I bought several sets of Junkyard Dan books and workbooks to share. We are using them in ISS and in reading classes (regular and ESE). Teachers tell me their students love them and that no one minds being seen reading these books. You can expect us to order every new book Nox Press offers.

The Junkyard Dan novels turned my students from resisters to readers. These engaging stories that are easy to read caught their attention and kept it. |
I am 11. I love your books. I used to hate reading, but now I am reading more and more. Sincerely, |
