WORKSHOPS & CLASSES
Write, Create, and Publish Your Own Book at Young Authors Society!
Join us for an adventure in creative writing and art. Students will dream up their own stories, build exciting worlds, and bring their characters to life through writing and mixed media projects. Along the way, they’ll learn about story structure, plot twists, genres, and design, finishing the program with their very own published book!
We provide each student with a spiral notebook to collect their work in, as well as additional creative materials for specific lesson plans. We also provide each student with a single copy of their final book at the end of the course. (Additional copies are available for purchase by parents.)
Each student gets personalized guidance and encouragement from our instructors every step of the way, making the journey creative, supportive, and fun.
Please email us at workshops@ghostprintingpublishing.com to learn more about our creative writing curriculum designed for students in grades 2-12.
Boost Your Reading & Comprehension Skills with Future Story Scholars!
Whether your child is a native English speaker or multilingual, understanding and analyzing stories can be difficult. Our classes are designed to teach students reading techniques to be faster and more efficient readers.
Each week, we’ll be reading a book or a chapter from a book together as a class. Afterwards, we’ll explore the story through a series of questions created to build reading comprehension skills in our students. Students will leave our program as more confident readers with stronger critical thinking readiness.
Reading comprehension isn’t just important inside your English or Humanities classes. This skill is a common testing subject featured on standardized tests, such as the ISEE for middle schoolers, or the SAT for high schoolers. The ability to read and comprehend lengthy materials at a fast pace is also a very practical skill that is well-utilized in many professional fields, even everyday life.
Please email us at workshops@ghostprintingpublishing.com to learn more about our reading comprehension programming for K-12 students.
