Ooka Island for Parents

The Ooka Island Adventure is an adaptive learn-to-read technology for Pre-K to 2nd Grade. The combination of the innovative features below make it a powerful tool to accelerate the reading development of emergent readers as they move along the path to fluent reading.

  • Created by the founder of the US DOE’s top-rated program for reading comprehension, the Eye / Ear Reading Method revolves around the five following fundamentals of reading: phonemic awareness, phonetics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.
  • An adaptive learning algorithm called READirect that ensures skill mastery in reading for each student.
  • Comprehensive assessment and real-time progress reports provided online in the Ooka Lighthouse and organized into actionable data for multiple end-users.
  • An assessment tool called the Ooka Compass for students who already have a reading base to start them at the most appropriate level on the Book Path
  • A built-in E-Reader called the Popcorn Library packed with 85 carefully leveled and sequenced Ooka Island e-Books.
  • In a complete and rigorous program for beginning readers, approximately 80 hours of proven reading curriculum is presented to our youngest learners in a virtual world format with a heroic storyline and mission.

Additional Learning Resources

Ooka Island offers a variety of motivational tools for parents … and the best part is that – they’re free!

Print out copies of the Book Path to encourage children along their Ooka journey, or use Reward Certificates to congratulate them on their Ooka achievements. There are even free downloadable books available! All in our Motivational Tool kit below.

We also have the Ooka Tunes: Sing-Along Songs app for the iPhone and iPad. It’s full of fun and silly songs and stories from The Ooka Island Adventure with highlighted text to encourage reading along.

My three little Ooka Adventurers just love the game. They like rescuing elves, playing word ball, and sending those Fliggs dropping into the ocean. They also love reading the stories and singing along to the Ooka Tunes. And what I love is the learning curve – it’s great! They are learning a lot!
