Hoot lessons use high-quality instructional materials designed for effective online teaching & learning. These resources are designed to support clear teacher modelling, active student engagement, and repeated practice, which are all essential components of strong literacy instruction.

These materials were independently reviewed and recognized by the National Student Support Accelerator at Stanford University for their exceptional quality.
