Night Zookeeper allows your child to build a strong writing and grammar foundation while building a collection of Night Zoo animals and creating their own characters. Children grow their Night Zoo by completing learning challenges, writing lessons, and creating and collecting magical animals.
The Night Zookeeper program is designed to cover all the basics that your child will need for reading and writing, and will progressively get harder as they play through the program.
Features:
Weekly Lessons: Receive twice-weekly interactive episodes in the ‘Interactive TV+’ area of the menu. Each series teaches writing skills such as learning how to write persuasively, or how to include more adverbs in writing.
Tutors and Feedback: Receive completely personalized advice and feedback from tutors to help children improve their writing for next time.
Parent Dashboard: Easily track your child's progress, lessons, and messages from their tutor, or comment on your student's writing. Parents can also adjust difficulty and privacy settings
Game Center: Play a variety of word and sentence-based games, designed to be fun and educational. Your child can try to top the World Leaderboard each week, or even play live sentence games against children all over the world.
Offline Resources: Additional resources reinforce learning for practicing writing
Team Blog: Children can read and leave comments on each other’s writing to help encourage each other. (All writing is checked and moderated by Night Zookeeper educators. Participation is optional.)
Star Writing & Competitions: Monthly competitions across the website with prizes. Your child can check out the “Star Writing’ button every week to see what the new writing prompt is and choose to take part.
