Creative Workshops Space
During these workshops, children will be invited to actively participate in reading and interact in different ways to enrich their understanding and thinking.
✔ Discussions around the books : During and after reading, children will discuss the stories through questions about the meaning of the words , but also about the characters, the issues addressed, possible solutions and their own point of view . The objective is to get them to make connections with their personal experiences .
✔ Word Games : To make the workshops even more fun, vocabulary and comprehension games will be offered, generally inspired by the stories read. These activities will allow children to take ownership of the stories while developing their curiosity and imagination.
These workshops offer a wonderful opportunity for children to discover the pleasure of reading while learning to express their ideas and emotions .
The “Discover a book” workshop, based on the book “Heroes of yesterday, today and tomorrow” , is led by Aouicha .
The aim is to encourage children to think about their relationships with others , to pique their curiosity about certain historical facts, and to introduce them to notable personalities in a fun way.
