Samples of the JUNKYARD DAN workbooks:

 

Now we've warned you that these aren't like typical, boring workbooks, right?

Each workbook corresponds with two of the JUNKYARD DAN books.

So, in case you're not getting it,
Workbook #1 goes with Start of a New Dan and Dried Blood.
Workbook #2 goes with Stolen? and Gun in the Back.
Workbook #3 goes with Plans and Money for Nothing.
Workbook #4 goes with Stuffed Animal and Poison, Anyone?

 

Click HERE for a sample of a two-page spread from Workbook #1.

Click HERE for another (different) sample workbook page from Workbook #1.

Click HERE for a sample spread of pages from Workbook #3.

Click HERE for yet another sample page from Workbook #3.

 

In our workbooks, EVERY page is unique and different.
They are fun and light because we firmly believe that learning should be fun and entertaining.

So although these are some samples of our pages,
they in no way represent the fantastic assortment of fun things in our workbooks. (They are merely... a taste.)

 

You will need a PDF reader to see these samples.

Please make sure you are viewing them at their "actual size"so you can see them in their actual size.

[Don't get us all riled up again about this issue. Just see the "Samples - Books" page to find out about one of our pet peeves. (We kind of ranted on and on. But we're sorry about that. So we won't repeat ourselves.)]

 

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.

What can I say about the Junkyard Dan series? Initially, I purchased the first two books to read them myself and see if I thought our learners would be interested in them. I was excited and surprised when I couldn’t put them down! I had to finish them. I figured if they held my interest, they might hold our learners’ interest as well.

They do!

The characters are 3-dimensional! The plots are timely and intricate! The relationships are emotional and have depth! How do you manage to do that so that a learner newly adventuring into reading can be successful? I don’t know you (except for a couple of phone calls), but I think passion, knowledge, talent, and hard work – that’s your killer combo.

The workbooks shouldn’t be called workbooks; they should be called funbooks, or smilebooks, or laughbooks. Your workbooks help to lighten spirits and heal hearts! Often, that’s something our learners need.

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
During open house in August the majority of the parents told me flat out, ”My child hates to read.” Virtually all of these students are now avidly reading your books. I’ve never seen anything like in all the thirty five years that I’ve taught “at risk” students!!!

I can’t thank you enough for making this the most productive year ever for my intensive reading students. I’m looking forward to sending you a copy of our test score gains at the end of the year.
