The Hoot Library includes 1,500+ decodable and complex texts that prioritize diverse characters, storylines, and authors. It is available both in and out of lessons.

Supportive Partnership

Hoot offers adjustable schedules and resources for families to support engagement and enrollment. Reading lessons can be delivered at school or home.

Qualified Teachers

Teacher-led tutoring has the greatest impact on literacy outcomes. All Hoot tutors are qualified teachers with a B.Ed (or higher) and classroom teaching experience.
