From November 18 to 23, Children's Week will take over libraries and colleges across the country. Families have 39 appointments throughout this week.
“A child who reads will be an adult who thinks. » Coralie Dénoues quotes Flore Vasseur and specifies: “A book is not just about reading, a book is a moment, a sharing. Introducing children to the pleasures of reading is essential in the adult-child relationship. Thanks to today's children's literature, all subjects can be approached with kindness. »
Béatrice Largeau, vice-president in charge of child protection, continues: “Reading develops knowledge, thinking and the ability to dream, these dreams which form life plans. »
On the program: 10 shows in partnership with libraries for reception, two meetings at the medico-social branches of Niort and Saint-Maixent-l'École for an activity on language and a baby readers session, four meeting workshops led by author-illustrators…
Literature comes to the table, cooking recipes concocted by school chefs taken from a novel, a play or a thriller will be enjoyed at the Molière colleges in Loretz-d'Argenton, Émile-Zola in Prahecq, Jacques-Prévert in Moncoutant-sur-Sèvre and Louis-Merle in Secondigny.
Philippe Chauveau, departmental advisor in charge of reading and reading, concludes: “A child who reads is also quite simply a child who has fun and questions the world. »
