The Wonder of Wonder

Wonder by RJ Palacio, first published in 2012 is rapidly becoming a modern classic.  The story is of Auggie Pullman, a 10-year old living with a rare medical facial deformity. 

The story follows Auggie as he goes to school for the first time, having previously been home schooled. We see how Auggie and his family cope with this big change and how the children in the school react to his attendance. 


The film has been made into a major motion picture with an all star cast. See the trailer below.  I hope it can live up to the book and perhaps introduce a whole new audience to the book and make them laugh, think, wonder and cry.

Download a teacher's guide to 'Wonder' from www.literacyshedplus.com

I recently bought this companion picture book which could be used across the whole school to explore the themes in 'Wonder'

There are a number of films on The Literacy Shed which cover similar themes to those found in Wonder. 
Tamara: A young deaf girl dreams of being a dancer. 
Scarlett el contra: A true story of perseverance, as told through the eyes of a child

Wing: The main character is deformed and cannot fly as well as others but the help of his friend gets him through. 

The Present:  A boy gets a present from his mum and he isn't very grateful.  

Replay: The sad story of a boy and his sister.in a post-apocalyptic world   This one does not have a happy ending. 

Little Freak: One little boy lives with his father in a caravan. We get to see how he feels and what he thinks about his father's treatment of him. 

We have a teacher's guide to 'Wonder' and student response book ready to download on www.literacyshedplus.com
