Read & Write with Aashna

Hello folks! I am Yogita Miharia, Aashna's mother.

I am sharing this post without her approval because you never know how a teenager would react to their mom butting in 😆 But mama bear that I am, I wanted to share my thoughts and feelings 🥰

This was Aashna's second summer of Read & Write with Aashna, and she worked with over 40 students once again. Every class was 1:1, and she did multiple classes with every kid. I have seen her work very hard, putting her heart and soul in the program, not only when she is teaching but outside of it when she prepares meticulously for every lesson, right from scheduling to planning.

I would like to thank all the parents that put their trust in Aashna for coaching their children. Aashna loves each of them and often told me stories of their cuteness.

I love seeing your messages and notes of appreciation. And my heartfelt thanks to so many of you who sent her gifts as tokens of appreciation. It is a free program, but who doesn't love a gift that originates from love and appreciation? That acknowledgement makes her feel so good of her work.

I just want to take this opportunity to say how proud I am of my daughter. Where most teenagers spend their summers goofing around, she spent volunteering. In addition she attended 2 prestigious, highly selective summer programs including the school of New York Times. As she is working on helping others read and write, she is also working on herself as a writer and thinker.

Thank you!

P.S. Aashna's pic from this summer, that smile is from the delicious pancakes she was just served at our Sunday family brunch.

Hi everyone! Earlier today, every open spot in Read & Write with Aashna was filled. I also have a substantial waitlist thus far, so any spots that open up will get filled immediately.

Introducing: Read and Write with Aashna

Hello, everyone! I'm so excited to resume my summer program "Read with Aashna" from 2020 and expand it to be "Read and Write with Aashna" this year!

Do you have a child between the ages of 5 to 10 years old? Would you like them to improve their reading or creative writing skills? If yes, please read further...

My name is Aashna and I am a rising junior at Wi******er High School. I am a passionate reader who wants to dedicate my summer vacation to helping young kids find the same joy in reading that I do. Since last running this successful program, I have become a published author of the middle-grade novel "In Their Heads," of which over 150 copies have been sold! I am also a Senior Journalist on Wi******er High School's newspaper and have volunteered at Wi******er Public Schools summer reading programs geared for first and second graders.

For children ages 5-7, I will be running "Read with Aashna" to help strengthen their reading comprehension. For children ages 8-10, I will be running "Write with Aashna" to practice crucial creative writing skills that have helped me become successful thus far.

Please note that these reading/writing classes are FREE and will be 1:1 over Zoom. Spots are limited and are given on a first come, first serve basis, so sign up quickly!

Please see the flyer for more details. Spread the word to your friends and family. As this is a virtual program, you can be located anywhere to participate!

Summer program announcement coming soon! Stay tuned to this page 😃
