Do note that classes are held on Zoom and that there are only nine seats per batch!
Read, Write, Explore (Ages 9 and 10) – June 2024
Registrations are now open for Read, Write, Explore, an ongoing reading and creative writing 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 June and July 2024, we will be reading The Mystery of the Silk Umbrella (Asha Nehemiah), The Schoolmouse (Dick King-Smith) and The Golden Eagle (Deepak Dalal).
Classes are held online on Zoom, and there are only nine seats per batch!
