Read, Write, Explore (Ages 9 and 10) – April-May 2025

Online on Zoom

REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THIS EDITION OF 'READ, WRITE, EXPLORE'. New batches begin every alternate month.
'Read, Write, Explore' is an ongoing reading and creative writing programme for ages nine and ten. In April and May 2025, we will be reading 'The Paradise Flycatcher' (Deepak Dalal), 'I Survived the Nazi Invasion, 1944' (Lauren Tarshis) and 'Nimmi's Bizuper Birthday' (Shabnam Minwalla).
During the twelve online interactions, we read excerpts from three books and do activities of all kinds. 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! 
Classes are held online on Zoom, and there are only nine seats per batch!
