Read, Write, Explore (Ages 9 and 10) – February 2023

January 5, 2023 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THIS READING PROGRAMME. The next one will begin in April 2023, and I will open for registrations in the first week of March.
‘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 12 online interactions, we read excerpts from three books and do activities that link reading to writing, vocabulary and life skills. Every two weeks, one class is devoted to creative writing.

In February and March 2023, we will be reading Talon the Falcon (Deepak Dalal), The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips (Michael Morpurgo) and Tara and the Friendship Theorem (Chitra Soundar).

Do note that classes are held on Zoom and that there are only nine seats per batch!
