Registrations are now closed for this reading programme.
I was just about halfway through my first reading programme when parents started reaching out to me to check if there will be other batches. Even when I launched the first one, I knew I would continue the programme if enough people expressed interest. And so, here it is – the second edition of my online reading programme!
What does a reading programme involve?
Essentially, reading.
As there are four books spread across 12 sessions, we take roughly three sessions per book. Naturally, this means that we do not read the entire book together. We read excerpts from the books together during each session, and then the children read in their own time before the following class. During each online interaction, we do not just read; we also imagine, create, play and talk. We do activities around the books and try to think about what will happen next. We review books, discussing which ones we like more and why.
Which books will we be working with?
This time, the four books I’m going to work with are:
- Lucky Girl – Shabnam Minwalla
- Amelia Bedelia Means Business – Herman Parish
- Hungry to Read – Arti Sonthalia
- Friends Behind Walls – Harshikaa Udasi
You could also take a look at the last four books we worked with – Trouble with Magic, Shrinking Vanita, The Sheep-Pig and Manya Learns to Roar.
Details
The details are all in the image above, but here they are once more.
Dates: 2nd February to 12th March 2021
Online interactions: Tuesdays and Fridays, 4-4:45pm
Age-group: 7-8 years
Workshop fee: ₹3,500 (UPI: seshanvarsha@okhdfcbank or bank transfer – contact me for details)
Important note: The books are included in the fee only if you register before the 25th of January. This is because I source books from independent bookstores close to you, as far as possible. This is both to support local bookstores and to save the environment by reducing the carbon footprint created by shipping books across the country when they’re available at the store next door!
Physical copies will be delivered anywhere in India.
My phone number is in the poster; please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions. And no, I don’t use WhatsApp.
Edited to add: Do note that the books are no longer included in the fee of ₹3,500. If you would like me to organize the books for you anyway, please get in touch.
