Read, Write, Explore (Ages 9 and 10) – April 2024

February 29, 2024 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

Join the April 2024 edition of ‘Read, Write, Explore’!

‘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! 

In April and May 2024, we will be reading The Misadventures of a Diamond Thief (Lubaina Bandukwala), Bat and the End of Everything (Elana K. Arnold) and The Curious Case of the Sweet and Spicy Sweetshop (Nandini Nayar). Classes are held online on Zoom, and there are only nine seats per batch!
