We all thought it or even spoke those words "That was an awful ending". Now it is time for you to take your writer's pen, your author's voice, and your open heart to create the endings you believe the fairy tales you've read should have. In this one time class you will be creating a new ending to a fairy tale. It can even be a fairy tale you didn't like. Truth be told I'm certain you don't like some fairy tales because of their endings. Together we can fix that! In class we will chat about fairy tale endings, what would be better, and even talk about what goes on once the story has ended? I don't believe Snow White truly lived EVERY day "happily ever after". After all she's a kind, caring, and sensitive character. I'm sure she had some massive emotional issues to deal with after handling the Evil Queen. It can't be easy being the leader of a kingdom. After our chat we'll do some writing sprints, some sharing of what we've created so far and then write some more. By the end of class most of the writers will have completed a spectacular new ending. Join me and complete the fairy tales in the ways you see fit.

I’m Kyria Kalata, an author, tutor, ESL teacher, and the proud founder of the House of Education. With a background as a TV journalist and a veteran homeschool mom, I’ve explored all mainstream educational options to bring the best to my students.
My classes are centered around reading, writing, and goal setting - the fundamental skills that empower children to take control of their educational journey.
As a child diagnosed with dyslexia, I faced academic limitations. But I discovered that the library was a treasure trove, filled with textbooks and teaching resources that transformed my life. I overcame the barriers set by my learning label, and I’m passionate about helping children everywhere do the same.
Today, I often meet parents who are frustrated because they struggle to teach their child to read. I’ve seen mothers and daughters at my doorstep in tears, feeling defeated. I believe that reading should be a joy, not a source of pain. With 12 years of experience teaching children aged 3-18 to read (including many for whom English is a second language), I’ve developed fun, innovative methods that make the transition to reading natural and enjoyable.
I invite you to join one of my sample classes to experience the joy of learning. Let’s transform the way your child reads and sets goals, shaping a brighter future for them.Reviews
