About Noodle Noodle is the first and only life-long education related search company in the world. We were started in 2011 by John Katzman, the founder of The Princeton Review and 2Tor. Our goal is to provide a recommendation engine to help anyone find educational opportunities at all levels, from K-12 to college, grad school, weekend classes, and professional development. Searching for the right educational opportunity can be intimidating and overwhelming. Too often this means that students go to the obvious school instead of the right school. We decided it was about time to solve that problem so we created Noodle. We offer accurate, extensive data on over 150,000 schools and hundreds of thousands of education providers. We help you find it with a personalized recommendation tool. Just answer a few questions and we'll match you with the school, tutor, or educational opportunity that suits your interests, budget, location and general preferences. You can also check out our Noodlings blog for advice and opinions from experts in their respective fields. It's full of explanations, how-to articles, top-10 lists and news related to all things education, from parenting to admissions to careers. We want to give you the knowledge you need to act on your educational interests with confidence. We know Noodle will revolutionize the educational search process by offering great information, data, and advice to everyone at no cost. But Noodle is a work in progress and always will be. We're always adding, updating and refining Noodle's data and search tools; and we need your help to keep getting better. Please let us know what you think about our data, recommendations, or the site in general so we can keep learning too. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook or Tumblr to give us feedback or just keep in touch!

"Reading and writing are modalities of  language (just like listening & talking). The more we integrate literacy into language learning the more opportunities for prAACtice and learning.  Think of all the ways to prAACtice core words with reading and writing (e.g., "read again", "write about that", "that is good", "He was bad", "tell me more", "I know", etc…). With this in mind, we love encouraging a love of literacy for ALL of our students. Here are some top tips we have learned from the most reluctant reader/writers, to beginning reader/writers, to even the more proficient readers/writers. It is such a great pleasure to watch students begin to love literacy as much as we do."
