Okapi Educational Publishing
Okapi Educational Publishing was founded with the goal of supporting educators as they help children to become active participants in their own learning, and to become productive, literate members of society. We believe that children construct their own learning, so our resources promote creativity and innovation. Our flexible teaching solutions include the flagship program Flying Start to Literacy, winner of the Distinguished Achievement Award from the Association of Educational Publishers. Solidly grounded in literacy research and best teaching practices, Okapi's products have inspired a loyal following among educators, who appreciate the ease-of-implementation and the positive student outcomes. Engaging materials give children a purpose for their reading and inspire further inquiry, fulfilling Okapi's mission of creating real-world literacy for real-world kids with real-world results.
