Reading wonder with my year 6 class has been an eye opening experience. The novel tells a story about a young boy with a facial difference attending a mainstream school for the first time which was full of emotional moments.
One of the strongest aspects of this book was that we read the book in multiple different perspectives from the characters in the book. This means that we get to see the story from several perspectives which can encourage conversations with the children how the same situation can be different depending on the perspective. The themes of kindness and resilience are central throughout the book spark conversations about bullying and inclusion.
Overall, wonder has been a great read with the children which highly promoted discussions. It has been a meaningful text that encouraged children to reflect on empathy and inclusion.
