Read, Write, Explore (Ages 9 and 10) – December 2024-January 2025
REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THIS EDITION OF MY BOOK CLUB. The next batch begins in February 2025.

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.
In December 2024 and January 2025, we will be reading Birds on the Brain (Uma Krishnaswami), Leonora Bolt: Secret Inventor (Lucy Brandt) and Paati vs UNCLE (Meera Ganapathi). Click on the book titles for outlines of what we will do as we read each one.

(There will be a Christmas break from 23 December to 5 January)
