And yes, we know. We do take quite a bit of poetic license (particularly with punctuation) to GET the books on these reading levels, but THESE BOOKS WORK, the struggling reader LOVES them, and the books increase with difficulty with every book the reader reads. (The reading levels for each series increase at a rate where the reader can't even TELL. Yet, the reader WILL notice that their reading scores and fluency are increasing - but have no idea WHY!)

You will need a PDF reader to see these samples.
Please make sure you are viewing the PDFs at their "actual size" so you can see them in their actual size.


Otherwise, they will be HUMONGOUSLY GIGANTIC.

(AKA: GINORMOUS!)


And everything will look a bazillion times larger than the actual-sized print.

[Which just happens to be a pet peeve of ours here at Nox Press.]


We say that because we have NO IDEA why other publishing houses print their materials for older struggling, emergent and ESL leaners with HUGE fonts.

To be quite frank (and a bit silly), we equate the huge font for the struggling, emergent and ESL reader to be as totally ridiculous as when we see people shouting at foreigners.

It makes us walk up to the shouters and say,
"They're not deaf, you know, they just don't speak the language and can't understand you!"

So we at Nox Press think the BIG FONT thing is a silly, insulting concept,
because for the most part, our readers don't have trouble SEEING!

 

{Hope we haven't offended anyone. But like we said, it IS a pet peeve of ours.}

 

 

Thank you for visiting Nox Press.

 

 

Nox Press is totally responsible for proving to your learners that reading doesn't have to be hard or boring.

This is the best low-reading-level / high-interest series I have found!

My students love your books. I do not have but one in my room now. Students take them and never return them. I think they go from cell to cell.

Keep up the good work.

From a Middle-Grade educator
I teach 6, 7 and 8th grade Resource Literacy. My students are reading between K-3rd grade level. I have really struggled to find books that are interesting to them (not my dog fetched the ball), and are at their level. Our wonderful Media Specialist knew of you and the series from working at a Juvenile Prison. He ordered your books and hoped that my kids would like them. The books came in yesterday, and I shared a few with my classes, and all of my boys have already been to the library and checked them out!!
