Read, Write and Discuss

Express ideas through reading and writing

Ages 9-11

Read, Write and Discuss is designed for children who are ready to use English more independently and thoughtfully.

In this class, children develop a deeper relationship with language through reading, discussion, and creative writing, building the skills needed to express ideas with clarity and confidence.

Structured like a book club, children are introduced to a variety of age-appropriate texts and genres. Through guided discussion, they learn to analyse what they read, share opinions, ask thoughtful questions, and develop stronger comprehension and critical thinking skills.    

Vocabulary and grammar are expanded naturally through meaningful use, rather than isolated exercises. Alongside reading, children apply their ideas through writing. They explore alternative endings, create their own texts, and learn how to organise thoughts clearly on paper. Creativity and imagination are encouraged, while children also develop presentation and speaking skills in a supportive, language-rich environment.

This class supports children in becoming confident readers, writers, and communicators, using English as a tool for thinking, discussion, and learning across subjects.
