In this presentation, we look at the beta release of the bokoco library- a Digital Library for Young Learners. This has graded readers for VYL and YL, K to 6, audio, with SRS games to be added. Words are highlighted in the text as audio plays, so very young learners can read unaided; words read are tracked and soon-to-be-added software maps read words and phrases against target word lists and grammar, such as NDL, NGSL, Cambridge English YLE, CEFR, Eiken, others.

The presenter will demonstrate the library, propose that walled gardens are a bad idea, and ask for feedback and suggestions on how to implement for the benefit of students, parents, teachers and schools.
