    Susan Sember (2021) once said, "Writing is the painting of the voice." Similarly, Night Zookeeper,

created by Joshua Davidson, is a unique website where children learn to tap into their

imagination and share stories they made. Night Zookeeper is perfect for teachers grades 6-12

with its complete curriculum, set assignments, and progress tracking. In addition, this platform

has assisted "over 1 million children aged 6-12 to develop their writing, reading, and creative

thinking skills." Moreover, Night Zookeeper is a platform geared towards activating students'

creativity, growth mindset, and reading and writing skills.

Students gain interest in writing as they begin to create their own stories. The platform

scaffolds the writing process by teaching students words, how to formulate sentences, and, finally,

author stories of their own. Additionally, the platform encourages students to write anything

they can imagine and create illustrations that bring their stories to life. The platform is filled

with multiple forms of writing, from free writing to reports, poems, letter writing, persuasive,

exploration, playscript, and more. 

Night Zookeeper is a perfect platform that supports students requiring a growth

mindset. The platform elevates students' interests and skills by developing special lessons from

a dedicated tutor ready to help students. As mentioned above, the program is filled with fun and

engaging games geared toward increasing vocabulary and spelling. In addition, Night Zookeeper

makes learning about proper sentence structure fun by building sentences through puzzles and

challenges that develop their grammar and writing structure skills. Most importantly, Night

Zookeeper keeps students coming back for more with "inspiring prompts and story creation l

essons that spark their interest and imagination" ("Classroom Reading and Writing Program |

Night Zookeeper - Fantastically Fun Learning.")

Teachers can build on students' baseline skills through the Progress Tracking feature that

the platform provides. The Progress Tracking feature helps teachers and parents track

and identify areas for improvement. Furthermore, the platform organizes the student's

progress using in-depth statistics of their growth and accomplishments, including monthly

graphs. Once students have achieved their reading and writing goals, teachers can adjust the

difficulty levels to meet the child's proficiency levels. 

In final analysis, Night Zookeeper is an effective literacy website that encourages students

to read and "write paintings of their voices" (Sember.) The online platform is built to enhance

students' reading and writing skills through scaffolded instruction in the form of games, puzzles,

and writing challenges. At the end of the program students will have the opportunity to develop

their writing skills with a growth mindset with assistance from online tutors and teacher

feedback. Finally, all participants involved have the ability to tailor their lessons to fit the students

needs with Night Zookeeper's Progress Tracking features.
