The evidence is clear: 1:1 instruction grounded in the Science of Reading drives stronger results—and our qualified teachers deliver it with care.

That same commitment to research shaped the creation of Hoot’s technology, which was incubated on a project at the Nokia Research Lab with Sesame Workshop (the creators of Sesame Street).
