Maguire, Gregory (22 November 2013). "Speaking Gobblefunk". The New York Times . Retrieved 9 March 2023. You could even use Matilda as part of a drama activity! Here is a Matilda drama support guide that has been designed by Twinkl’s expert teaching team to help educators do just that. They taught me that just because someone is an adult, that doesn't mean that every single thing they do or say is right. Miss Honey is described as " a mild and quiet person who never raised her voice, and was seldom seen to smile, but there is no doubt she possessed that rare gift for being adored by every small child under her care".

Negatives include some unbelievably bad bad guy moments that leave us boring adult readers thinking, "well that could never happen"...because we're dumb. Also, I don't think this needed the dip it takes into magical fantasy. It was doing perfectly fine without it. I rather liked that Matilda was solving her problems on her own without a supernatural assistance. It was more impressive.This Matilda Reading Comprehension Task looks at different parts of the book, and tasks your children with responding to the text. It’s a differentiated exercise that will help develop core comprehension skills in a structured way.

Matilda by Roald Dahl: Quentin Blake's sketches and original artwork". British Library . Retrieved 13 October 2022. This gentle nature is one of the characteristics that makes her such a good fit for Matilda. The two have also shared similar ill-treatment from people who were meant to take care of them.Matilda is also a book about the power of reading. We learn about Matilda’s love of reading early on, and this is something that allows her to escape the painful situations she finds herself in, coming out the other end stronger. This makes it an ideal book to teach children who are just getting into reading full-length books for the first time. It might inspire them to take a deeper journey into reading. So you can get what happens. Matilda ends up in a war with the Trunchbull. The movie is way more emotionally intense but the book does a great job too and the ending is still pretty satisfying. I loved the characters of Matilda and Miss Honey and I thought Matilda's family was believably awful because we've all met oafish jerks like that. Roald Dahl is a great children's author but this has always been one of my favorite books of his, partially because it's more believable and partially because it features a girl protagonist who is allowed to be strong and victorious, and not beaten down, which makes the story feel both timeless and incredibly progressive, all at the same time.
