Right through the year, I conduct online book clubs for two age-groups: ages 7 and 8, and ages 9 and 10. Each edition comprises twelve 45-minute online interactions. During each class, we read excerpts from a set of curated books. Based on these books, we do activities of all kinds, including creative writing, critical thinking, drama and drawing.
In May 2026, I will be conducting my very first edition of Deep Read, a book club for ages 11 and 12!

FAQs
The book club is for ages seven and eight.
Read, Write, Explore is for ages nine and ten.
Deep Read is for ages 11 and 12.
They are all online programmes revolving around books and reading, but the length of the book, expected reading level, and kinds of activities are different based on the age-group.
Children who love reading, or children who want to develop a love for reading are welcome to join.
- For Read, Write, Explore, much of the reading happens independently (not in class), so the children must be willing and able to read independently.
- For Deep Read, all the reading happens independently. It is suited to children who love reading and want to dive deeper into literature.
Reading levels vary widely, so I would suggest that you take a quick look at the books before you sign up.
- Children who struggle with English would not be a good fit for these book clubs.
- Children who do not have access to a good internet connection would find it difficult to keep up.
The books we read are carefully curated based on the average reading level of children in the age-group, as well as on the activities we can do based on the books.
For ages 7 and 8, the books are typically between 60 and 120 pages long. They have black-and-white illustrations.
For ages 9 and 10, the books are typically between 120 and 250 pages long. A lot of reading happens independently, and most of the books we read have black-and-white illustrations.
For ages 11 and 12, as we go on, we will read a range of middle-grade literature, spanning a variety of genres.
For ages 7-10, we will read excerpts from the books in class. Linked to the stories, we will do several activities, including vocabulary quizzes, drawing, creative writing and role play.
For ages 11 and 12, we will work with selected excerpts, focusing on critical thinking, informed critique, and creative writing.
