Charlie and I have been talking about the
classes he was taking in
school before we removed him.Charlie mentioned they would
write stories once a week.
After Charlie let me know this I decided to look for a
website that would help Charlie be able to create
stories on his own. Without me having to
teach Charlie to do this because he gets frustrated with me.
CaptivationStation is an
innovative digital writing and
grammar platform. Based on the award-winning
WriteSteps curriculum for 3rd-5th graders.
Students get
step-by-step daily lessons that they can watch and then practice independently
Age Range: 5-18 (Grades 1-12, with parental supervision)
At this
website, you will find many
online, interactive quizzes based on children’s literature.
When you get to the
site, you will see a
menu that you can use to find
quizzes according to
book series,
book author,
young adult books, and a
general literature category that includes
exams on fairy tales.Don’t let the sparse menu on the
landing page fool you – there are tons of
quizzes on just about every
children’s book imaginable.
Click on a category, and a new page opens with an extensive menu of quizzes indicating the difficulty level of each examination that ranges from easy to severe.
Choose the topic that interests you – and another page opens where you can select what format you want to take the quiz in – HTML or flash. Make your selection, and a new page opens where the examination begins.
It’s fun to test your knowledge and memory of various storylines and characters that you have met in books! That said; parents have different criteria for what is suitable regarding children’s literature. Therefore, as always, parents should preview the site before exploring it with your children.
Note: There are frequent quizzes on many subjects at this site. We have only reviewed the Children’s Literature section. Again, parents should preview this site before exploring it with children.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
