Matilda Novel Study for Special Education with comprehension questions

Matilda by Roald Dahl is the focus of this novel study for students with autism and special learning needs, with activities and chapter questions in print and digital formats.

Have you ever wanted to read a novel to your special education students but thought there was no way they would sit and listen? Persevere; it is worth it!!

This 115 page unit on the novel Matilda is designed for students who have special learning needs. I was always reading a novel to my students, regardless of their learning level.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS NOVEL UNIT IS FOR STUDENTS WITH SIGNIFICANT DISABILITIES WHO ARE EITHER EMERGING OR NON-READERS AND DOES NOT INCLUDE THE NOVEL OR AN ADAPTED VERSION.

⭐ YOU WILL NEED YOUR OWN COPY OF THE BOOK⭐

This unit has print and digital activities to accompany Roald Dahl’s book, Matilda.

The materials were designed to allow students at multiple learning levels to access and engage with the lessons learned from listening to this novel.

There are many opportunities for students to engage with repeated information about the adventures of Matilda, Miss Honey, Miss Trunchbull, and others. This repetition encourages deeper engagement in the book.

Finally, many of the activities include multiple versions, suggestions for differentiation, and presentation options. There are 1 or more activities (36 activities!!) to go with each chapter as your students stay engaged while you read this novel aloud.

There are 2 complete files for this unit. One is in color, and one is in BW.

***There are also comprehension questions included in this unit. There are 5 questions per chapter, each with 3 picture choices.

See preview for a detailed look at what is included.

There are so many benefits to reading out loud to your students. You will teach them an invaluable skill of learning to sit still while someone else is talking. Your parents will also LOVE you for not only teaching them this skill of sitting but also for exposing them to age-appropriate material. Plus, you never know which students you will touch with each story you read.
