• Fun Facts about topics relevant to each story accessible by clicking on reoccurring items in the story

• Online materials and resources to support teachers’ instructional goals
• Printed materials - worksheets, activities, records, and more - to complement the webstories
Relevant Curriculum Design
OWL offers original, interactive online stories that engage children in meaningful literacy activities. Each webstory is a learning adventure that contains interactive activities designed to build grade-appropriate literacy skills from the simple to the complex, such as grammar, punctuation, reading comprehension and word analysis. Teachers and parents can see at a glance which skills are being addressed in every activity.
Designed by educators, OWL offers superior learning opportunities for children. They’re also fun! Students enjoy immediate feedback and quickly become engaged in the beautifully crafted stories and graphics.
Select the appropriate grade level and choose from up to nine stories for interactive learning.
Rich Learning Resources
Along with the webstories, OWL also includes a wealth of teaching tools and ideas. Teachers and parents receive printable resources worksheets, activities, records and more to build upon the online learning experience and zero in on curriculum objectives. Each activity within a webstory has corresponding progress sheets which test and reinforce language and literacy concepts.
Students follow along each webstory, which is set to music and other audio cues, by reading captions, character dialogue and interactive directions, clicking on arrows to move forward or backward at their own pace.
Embedded in each story are activities, such as this game about phonemes. Students unload objects from Rex’s moving van and click each phoneme to hear it read aloud.
Literacy Learning and Beyond
OWL is more than a literacy program. It is a rich cross-curricular resource. Geography, history, science and more are intricately woven into the webstories. Zack, Lucy, Ozzie and Archie discover new locales, explore other cultures, learn about recycling, explore life processes and more.
