Read, Write, Explore (Ages 9 and 10) – August-September 2024

THIS BATCH IS SOLD OUT. I will start taking registrations for the next batch in September 2024. Join my mailing list if you would like to receive email notifications about my programmes. Alternatively, follow me on social media – Facebook and Instagram – for regular updates.

Read, Write, Explore is an ongoing online reading and creative writing programme for ages nine and ten. During the twelve online interactions of each edition, we read excerpts from three books. Unlike at my book club for ages seven and eight, we devote less class time to reading aloud and more to activities and writing. Additionally, one class every two weeks focuses on creative writing. Do note that this means that even though we read excerpts in class, most of the reading happens independently! 

This programme is designed for children who want just a taste of creative writing but are not (yet) excited about writing regularly. In some ways, it is the best of both worlds–the joy of reading and the fun of creative writing–without the editing and polishing that writing requires. 

At Read, Write, Explore in August and September 2024, we will be reading Flyaway Boy (Jane De Suza), The Worst Witch to the Rescue (Jill Murphy) and In the Woof of Time (Monika Bhatkhande). Click on the titles for outlines of what we will do as we read.
