The Story Project

World Book Day 2025

This is a big one for us – its one of our favourite books and we’re really excited to share it with you.

We’ve turned Matilda, by Roald Dahl, into a quick, easy World Book Day lesson.

Requiring next-to-no prep and little resources, this lesson is the perfect accompaniment to World Book Day. Helping children to see the value of reading and its many benefits on our wellbeing.

PLUS – as part of the lesson, we’re giving you 4 free downloadable posters to hang in your classroom!
