Boukili is a French learning tool by Groupe Média TFO built around reading books. Kids get rewarded for reading, and teachers follow their groups’ progress. The app was built at Libéo, where I was a front-end developer, with Ionic: one codebase for web, tablet and phone.

Three ways to read

  • Solo: to encourage independence.
  • Narration: the story is read aloud, to help comprehension and pronunciation.
  • Recording: kids record themselves, and parents and teachers see their progress.

Around the books

  • Syllable-based educational games.
  • A wardrobe to dress up your avatar as a reward.
  • A quiz after each reading.
  • A teacher interface to assign readings and follow students.
  • A custom CMS so TFO can manage the books.

According to Libéo’s case study, Boukili is used by tens of thousands of households in Ontario and Quebec.
