About Classes
This course turns reading into a true exploration of meaning, imagery, emotion, and questions. Here, children read not only with their eyes, but with their hearts and minds: analyzing, discussing, creating, and trying themselves in the roles of both characters and authors.

How Classes Work
In each lesson, children engage with a new text. We read aloud and in roles, pausing for discussion. Together, we analyze characters’ actions, ask questions, debate, and imagine.
Then we move into creative work:
– Writing letters from the characters’ perspectives
– Drawing, voice acting, and creating short theatrical scenes
– Producing audio projects, podcasts, and mini-performances
Each topic concludes with a project such as a storyboard, comic, or a character album.
