Alongside schools and districts, nightzookeeper.com is increasingly being used by homeschooling parents around the world.
Shelly, a homeschooling mother of 7 and 9 year old writes: “As a home educating mom it is a time-saving resource, I can log on and there are lessons already created for the kids. As soon as I suggest the website both kids are happy.”
Nightzookeeper.com has hundreds of lessons designed for each age group that children can independently work through. There is also a library of lessons that parents can choose from to send to their children through the website.
Shelly continues, “The lessons that we have tried have been perfect. Grammar lessons have been to the point with examples attached followed by short exercises for the kids to do. The comprehensions that we have tried have been on interesting topics.”
As children complete lessons and write, they can create and collect more animal characters and grow their Night Zoo. This use of gamification really engages children and inspires them to work independently and improve their writing skills.
Shelly says, “There is never any nagging needed. As soon as I suggest the Night Zookeeper website both kids are happy to log on and they sit for ages doing the lessons and creating.”
You can read Shelly’s full review of the website, and a review of the Night Zookeeper Giraffes of Whispering Wood book here.

I really do believe this is a great resource for use in the home. We are loving it. And my son has just read the book for the second time. Thanks for sharing the link.
