“Reading by making” is a way for children to fall in love with reading while engaging in activities that they enjoy. Our goal is to facilitate this process through our club sessions.

• We provide an engaging learning environment for children.
• We carefully select literature that is appropriate for their age and discuss and analyze the content through fun activities.
• We also complete various grammatical tasks.
• Based on the material we read, children create dioramas, applications, posters, letters, and statements.

After completing the reading task, children summarize the acquired knowledge in various forms, such as presentations, performances, and exhibitions.

Fairy Tale Therapy is a method that supports the emotional and social development of children and increases their creativity.It presents the fairy tale not only as a factor in developing imagination, raising an interest in reading, satisfying curiosity and transmitting moral values, but also as a therapeutic agent that helps children to learn techniques of problem-solving, deal with fears, aggressive behavior, and develop assertiveness. During club sessions, where elements of art therapy are integrated, children read fairy tales, draw episodes, discuss, analyze, and express.

At the Russian language Club our aim is to give children the exciting opportunity to learn Russian language by encouraging them to speak it in a relaxed learning environment while having fun.

Every child is kept engaged at all times and learns without even realizing it!
