Small Actions. Big Results.
Ooka Island transforms teaching foundational reading skills by breaking the process down into thousands of micro-actions — 6,695 to be exact. With an instructionally robust methodology and highly adaptive technology, Ooka Island actively personalizes each student’s path toward fluent reading.
- Steeped in Research and Efficacy
Built on Dr. Kay MacPhee’s proven, research-based concepts, Ooka Island purposefully leads with securing children's phonemic awareness while teaching phonological skills to ensure reading words becomes as effortless as speaking-so students can focus on comprehension. Dive into the research to learn more about Ooka Island's effective foundational reading program.
- Reporting for Educators at All Levels
It's important to know how a student, class, school or district is progressing at both a high-level and the most granular. It's equally important to make that data actionable for educators. Ooka Island’s meaningful reports are filled with the richest and most impactful metrics, giving educators the tools they need to help meet their critical reading goals.
- Adaptive. Really.
Being highly adaptive means seamlessly supporting all students throughout their early reading journey. With three levels of adaptability—immediate scaffolding, adaptations to pacing, and more complex interventions—Ooka Island's continuous formative assessment understands the precise moment, and the right type of intervention, to help a student succeed.
- Learning After the Bell
Connecting reading to the home and family has a significant lifelong impact. Purposefully designed to be equitable for outside of school access, Ooka Island can be used anytime, anywhere, and on any device. Using their personalized account, students pick up wherever they left off, continuing to make measurable progress on their own learn to read adventure.

Trying to open ooka island and it keeps going to Google play saying open the app which we have and push open then nothing. Really frustrating takes me to launch ooka then takes me back to Google play everytime.
The application is not working. After installation, IT keeps taking us from the Launching page to the Google play again to install the already installed application. I advice all the teachers to avoid using this application.
I can't launch the application, no matter i try it's keep looping between the app and browser to login then redirect me to app store to install the already installed ooak island app, till now i can't see the content to give clear feedback however I'm using the account provided by school.
Fix your app!! Still can't log in. If customers can't open your app that means you're losing customers. This is annoying because my kids use this for school and now they can't complete their tasks....way to go.....
I went to try this for my kids. I am a homeschool mom with an autistic 6 year old who is struggling to learn to read. I went to create an account and log in, and it says i require an access code. I do not have an access code, we are not part of any co-op with an access code we could use. I guess i will have to find something else.
Cannot open the app. Keeps looping and doesn't open
I am unable to login to my child's account. I've been trying for over a month.
How can I get this to work on my phone? It just brings me to the page that says its installed and won't go any further.
The application is not working 😕😐😢😒
This app does not work!
You dont need it so dont buy it
I. Hate. It😈😤😬😠😕😁
Disciples stupid
My son loves this app but I did not love trying to access it. This is a version of Ooka Island that schools set up for kids to use, so your child needs an account set up that way and you need the login information from school. You also need to know to use this app--which has a different name but is Ooka Island. Scholastic does not provide this info anywhere--not on the website or the sheet sent home. About thie app is hidden under the Whats New section (which would help if you could see it).
