THIS BATCH IS SOLD OUT! The next edition of 'Read, Write, Explore' will begin in June 2024.

'Read, Write, Explore' is an ongoing programme for ages nine and ten, which combines the concept of a book club with an introduction to creative writing. 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!
