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 OOKA Method revolves around the five following fundamentals of reading: phonemic awareness, phonetics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Ooka Island has been aligned with the Common Core Standards for kindergarten and first grade.
- 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.

What Teachers Love Most
W. Walker, Kindergarten Teacher at John J. Sark Elementary says…
“Travelling to Ooka Island each day is a fun, interactive activity for young learners. It enables them to work with letters, sounds, words and books. The constant positive reinforcement encourages even the most hesitant learners. It is exciting for me to listen to my kindergarten students try new sounds and ”talk” to the computer. Everyone returns to the classroom feeling Ooka….riffic!!!!
1st Grade Teacher says…
“Ooka Island is such a great fit for my classroom. It meets my students on the technology platforms they so love being on and it provides them with a challenging and entertaining method of reading instruction – no matter what their skill level is. And I know it is working for them because I can monitor progress with the real-time reporting before and after each session.”
