Sharjah 24: The Expo Centre Sharjah will host the Sharjah Children's Reading Festival from May 1st to May 12th, 2024. The Sharjah Book Authority is hosting the event, and the Cultural Office of the Sharjah Supreme Council for Family Affairs (SCFA) is taking part.

Children will participate in three engaging workshops led by Dr Zakiya Al-Sarraf. The inaugural workshop, "Stories and Drawings," will commence at ten o'clock in the morning on Monday, the sixth of this month. In an effort to foster the growth of children's language skills, it focuses on those between the ages of 6 and 10.

The second session, "Stories and Maze," is scheduled for this month's seventh at 10:00 AM. The programme's stated goal is to help children (between the ages of 8 and 12) hone their observational abilities and practice telling stories using visual mazes.

On the morning of the 8th of this month at ten o'clock, there will be the third workshop, called "Stories and Six Paintings. Distributing six painted panels representing scenes from a novel, it attempts to promote a love of reading in youngsters aged 5 to 10. The next step is for the child to colour the panels and make up a story based on the pictures.
