About Hoot Reading
Hoot Reading is the leading online tutoring service providing 1:1, evidence-based literacy instruction with qualified teachers. Incubated on a research project at the Nokia Research Lab with Sesame Workshop (the creators of Sesame Street) and the Joan Ganz Cooney Center, Hoot Reading partners with school districts across North America to change children’s lives through literacy.
About the Relationship
Hoot Reading was interested in prioritizing increased functionality and convenience in their app for their district partners. During this time, Hoot Reading's Adam Rehill responded to a tailored cold email from Edlink's Nick La Riza, which led to a conversation about Edlink as an integration partner.
In their call, Adam explained that as they were transitioning, integrations like single sign-on (SSO) and rostering were becoming essential to meeting partner expectations. To stay competitive, Hoot Reading would need a way to onboard new platform integrations to make Hoot Reading easy to use for learning institutions. That’s where Edlink could help.
With one integration to Edlink, Hoot Reading can connect to over 25 popular Learning Management Systems (LMS), Student Information Systems (SIS), and Identity and Access Management providers (e.g., Google Classroom, Aeries, and Clever). Through the Edlink Unified API, Hoot Reading can host powerful integrated functionality like SSO and rostering so their sales team can just say “yes” when asked about integrations. By using Edlink as their integration partner, Hoot Reading can save thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours not developing integrations one by one.
"What stood out to us was the ability to onboard new providers without the need for custom implementations each time, along with the rapid speed at which we launched our first integration. We considered a few competitors, but Edlink was by far the most developer-friendly, with comprehensive documentation readily available well before needing to speak with anyone."
- Adam Rehill, CTO of Hoot Reading
