About Classes
This course helps children not just read but think deeply, discuss, create, and feel. We work with engaging literary texts, reading and listening together, reflecting, and imagining. Reading becomes not a task, but a space for imagination and conversation.

How Classes Work
The “Rosinka” School (Tokyo) offers materials in two formats:
Short texts for independent reading, each accompanied by assignments
Works read aloud by an adult, with children listening and participating in discussion
We alternate between these formats, work in pairs and groups, answer questions, imagine alternative endings, and analyze characters.
Over the course of a year, we read six or more works, including Children in the Grove, The Twelve Months, The Magic Swan Geese, The Flute and the Pitcher, and others.
