📚 LITTLE AUTHORS

Where Children Become Published Authors

Durban, South Africa

Little Authors is a weekly creative writing and literacy enrichment programme designed to help children grow in confidence, imagination, and writing skills — while writing and publishing their own book every school term.

Hosted by Lea La Razz, published author and literacy coach.

✍️ WHAT IS LITTLE AUTHORS?

Little Authors is not just a writing class.
It’s a guided author journey.

Children learn how to:

• Create stories from imagination

• Build characters and worlds

• Structure a story from beginning to end

• Improve grammar and sentence flow (age-appropriate)

• Edit and polish their work

• Hold a finished book they proudly wrote themselves

📖 Every term, each child completes and publishes their own book.

🧒 WHO IS IT FOR?

✔ Primary school learners
✔ Foundation & Intermediate Phase
✔ Beginner to confident writers
✔ Children who love stories, creativity, and imagination

No prior writing experience needed.

🗓️ HOW THE PROGRAMME WORKS

• One class per week

• Runs during the school term

• Small, guided groups

• Structured but fun lessons

• Age-appropriate content

Each term focuses on a different writing theme, so children continue growing as authors throughout the year.

Why this matters for your child:
