Comments are moderated, all writings are scanned for “bad stuff”, and no photos can be uploaded.

The text message-based program is familiar and less intimidating for kids to start.
3) THE GAME!
Riya & Will need a map of the zoo to succeed in vanishing the Void. As your child works they have the opportunity to play the game. Played like an area control game, part of the map is revealed each time you make a successful move.
3) Night Zookeeper has engaging WRITING PROMPTS
delivered for every single assignment.
4) NZK offers help!
If your child is stuck on a writing idea, many of the prompts allow for you to accept an offer of HELP. The help gets you started by writing the first part of a sentence, encouraging the use of specific words, etc.
5) ENCOURAGEMENT!
Your child will want to keep writing because of the immediate, positive feedback. Every writing will get a comment from the Night Zookeeper team, and it’s always kept positive. If your child posts a story in a challenge, they will get only positive feedback from other users.
6) READ-TO-ME OPTION
that lasts for the entire program, not just for younger age levels. This is just one of the ways you can personalize the program for your child’s unique needs.
7) The PARENT DASHBOARD
allows you to change age levels, easily see their writings and comments, and get an overall view of their accuracy. If you’re into this sort of thing, you can also see percentage “grades”.
8) Above all else, Night Zookeeper is STORY-BASED.
Your child is part of the story as it progresses. There is adventure & humor in the absolutely gorgeously-illustrated stories.
