“My daughter started using Ooka Island in mid-July before starting grade 1 at a DRA level 6. It helped her identify concepts she was missing and by mid-September, she was at a level 12, consistently! I love the report card and share it with her weekly.”
-Nicole Miller
Principal, H A Halbert Public School

“Teachers liked using it because it was easy to use and they could see how it could enhance their literacy program. The fact that it uses personalized programming and provides real-time, precise data benefits teachers as a way to respond to each students’ needs."
-Alison Rutherford
Program Coordinator, Toronto District School Board

WHY DOES IT WORK?

RESEARCH-BASED: Built on 25 years of research, Ooka Island teaches the five foundational reading skills necessary to become a fluent reader: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension.

GAME-BASED: Every student is a hero tasked with helping the Ooka Elves learn how to read. Ooka Island uses storytelling, 3D animation, game-based learning strategies, and motion event technology.

ADAPTIVE: Ooka Island plots a personalized path to ensure each child is building a solid foundation in reading.

DATA-DRIVEN: Real-time reports provide a detailed picture of where a child is excelling or struggling in reading.

ALIGNED: Ooka Island aligns with many provincial language curricula and state language standards for Kindergarten and Grade 1, as well as Head Start learning outcomes.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

· A UNIQUE LEARNING FLOW CYCLE: Ooka Island has three parts that cycle through until program completion. Part 1 is 20 minutes of phonological development where a child is guided through a variety of activities that teach research-based concepts such as phonemic awareness and blending sounds. Part 2 is focused on reading for comprehension. Ooka Island includes 85 leveled ebooks with highlighting and supportive narration. Students read each book twice, followed by activities. Part 3 is Free Play! Students choose wherever they want to go and cross-curricular learning is encouraged.

· EVERYONE STARTS AT LEVEL 1: As each child spends time on the program, our adaptive reading platform uses continuous formative assessment to adjust instruction and adapt to individual reading levels.

· FREE TRIAL: Download the app to play for FREE. Our free trial is intended to provide an idea of the program’s structure and a feel for the game.

· LOGIN WITH AN EXISTING ACCOUNT: Your account can be used across multiple devices.

· WI-FI OR CELLULAR DATA IS REQUIRED: Ooka Island cannot be played offline.
