Course Details
For each chapter of the book, I'll provide comments and explanations for anything that may be unclear to readers, expanding on the horse information, history, and geography of the Chincoteague and Assateague Islands.
Ages: This course will be suitable for any students who can read the book. The suggested age range for the book is 8 to 12 years. You'd have to be a pretty fluent reader to tackle the book at 8, but entirely possible for some kids. And I'd guess the interest level might go a few years beyond 12.

I'm excited about being able to offer the quizzing aspect of these courses. There are a variety of question types: multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blank, drag and drop, hotspot, and a few more. The quiz questions cover aspects of the novel as well as the additional horse information provided in the course.
- The online quiz questions are selected in random order, so a slightly different quiz will be given each time.
- You can print out a page showing the score and results at the end of each online quiz if you'd like that for record-keeping.
- Students in the course will have access to a downloadable PDF for each quiz. Answer keys are included.
