This class is aimed at children who are learning how to read.
Growing in confidence, through voice and story.
This class is aimed at children who can read. It's a seven-week course: six classes build these skills, and the seventh is a chance for the children to share what they've been working on with their family. It's not about performing — it's great practice, reading aloud to a small group.
Real technique and real practice, building confidence that lasts.

One-off events
Themed one-off sessions — Read Aloud Club with a twist, built entirely around one story or writer.
Read Aloud Club with a Shakespearean twist — every exercise, every game, every read aloud drawn from his plays and sonnets. For ages 11–16.

A new event I'm working on — children reading aloud in real places around our community. Watch this space.
Every age, every week
Alongside every class, I set children a weekly challenge — reading aloud with someone in their community, or connecting with their own family. It builds relationships, connection and confidence, week after week.
What parents say
"Everyone in co-op is so impressed with M's ability to articulate and deliver her weekly challenges. That's very much due to your methodology and how you engaged and encouraged her in Read Aloud Club."
Parent of M, aged 6
"I really appreciated the teacher's strategy; her main goal was clearly to build the children's confidence and give them tools to speak up in front of an audience. It was incredibly useful for Yusef. Watching him gain the courage to perform was a joy. Highly recommend it!"
Parent of Yusef, aged 10
"Noah and I had such a giggle practicing the weekly challenges together, especially the tongue twister challenge! Doing weekly practice at home, alongside Read Aloud Club, definitely helped with his confidence in class each week."
Parent of Noah, aged 9
FAQ
I'm flexible on age — if your child would be more comfortable in a younger or older group, that's absolutely fine. Just let me know.
