I love reading and I'm on a mission to help as many children as I can share that joy! Here is how I can help your child to fall in love with books and writing.
Creative Writing & Book club Join me every week in a small group of children who share a love for reading. Children discuss and discover books alongside developing a broad range of creative writing skills. They are able to chat about books with like-minded children in a safe, guided environment and are set creative writing tasks inspired by their reading. Children enjoy the light-hearted tone of these sessions but also make significant progress in SPaG and comprehension. This class is ideal for book enthusiasts who are keen to improve their creative writing abilities, receiving personal feedback and development points in every lesson.
The Y4-6 class is perfect for children preparing for entrance exams that include a written task in the test. We study a book each half term, developing comprehension skills and and vocabulary knowledge. Every week, children are supported to write a directed composition to which I give individual feedback on how they can move forwards the following week. I also provide vocabulary banks of words that have featured in previous 11+ exams for them to learn and apply in their writing. Read reviews from children who come to see what they think! You can see examples of children's work from Book Club at the bottom of this page. £22.50 per session, paid in advance on a half-term basis (six weeks). Y3 Mondays 16:30 - 17:30 Y4-6 Choose from Tuesdays 17:00 - 18:00 or Thursdays 18:00 - 19:00 Contact me today to check availablility.
