Read, Write, Explore (Ages 9 and 10) – August 2022

June 19, 2022 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THIS PROGRAMME.

Unlike at my book club for ages seven and eight, however, we devote less class time to reading aloud and more to activities and writing. Do note that this means that even though we read excerpts from three books in class, most of the reading happens independently! 
This programme comprises 12 online interactions (45 minutes each). There are only nine seats per batch.

In August and September, the books we will be reading are Paati vs UNCLE (Meera Ganapathi), Frindle (Andrew Clements) and Dungeon Tales II (Venita Coelho).
