Name: Read, Write, Explore (Ages 9 and 10) – August-September 2025
Start: 2025-08-05T17:30:00+05:30

Location: Online on Zoom

Registrations are now closed for the August-September 2025 edition of Read, Write, Explore. New batches begin every alternate month. 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.

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 2025, we will be reading Jumble Sale (Shabnam Minwalla), The Hodgeheg (Dick King-Smith) and Agalya in the Spotlight (Divya Anand). Click on the titles for outlines of what we will do as we read each of them.

Dates: 05 August to 11 September 2025

Online interactions: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5:30 to 6:15 pm

Age-group: 9 and 10 years

Early Bird Fee: ₹4,500

Fee: ₹5,000 (books will be delivered anywhere in India if you register before 29 July)

As this is a yearlong programme, you can also register for more than one edition at a time. Contact me to find out the details of the fee.
