When Matilda is old enough, she is sent to primary school, in Miss Honey's class. She immediately becomes attached and adores school even more than the library. Does anyone really, truly love to learn as much as Matilda? Books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone. She is such an inspiration - and not only because of the freaky telekinetics.

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. a b Bird, Elizabeth (7 July 2012). "Top 100 Chapter Book Poll Results". School Library Journal. Archived from the original on 13 July 2012. 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".

Miss Trunchbull later confronts a girl called Amanda Thripp for wearing pigtails (the headmistress repeatedly displays a dislike of long hair throughout the book) and does a hammer throw with the girl over the playground fence. A boy called Bruce Bogtrotter is later caught by the cook stealing a piece of Miss Trunchbull's cake; the headmistress makes him attempt to eat an 18-inch (46cm) wide cake in front of the assembly, then smashes the platter over his head in rage after he unexpectedly succeeds.

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. Flood, Alison (9 January 2012). "Roald Dahl stamps honour classic children's author". The Guardian . Retrieved 9 January 2022. They taught me that just because someone is an adult, that doesn't mean that every single thing they do or say is right.In the end, Miss Honey becomes the headmistress of the school. After Matilda’s parents announce that they plan to move to Spain, Miss Honey offers to adopt Matilda, and the two live happily in the family home they both should have had all along. Matilda's family taught me, that there will be people in your life who may not approve of you. They may not like how you behave, they may not like that element about you that makes you you. And that's ok. Improving yourself for the better is one thing, but these characters taught me that you do not have to change yourself to please others. You do not have to change who you are. You can still be you. Though I seem to make the book sound like a foray into the wintry-gray ambience of a Russian novel, it really isn't remotely as bleak. Roald Dahl very deftly veils most of the ugliness from us, softening most of its impact. Matilda's pranks against the escalating shenanigans of her horrid, anti-intellectual parents are hilarious. I also liked the description of Matilda settling in, cosy as can be with hot chocolate to engage in some bookworming (Though with a touch of envy I must say. The delights of hot chocolate are quite lost to me as I live in a fairly warm, sometimes boiling part of the island I'm from). And I never thought I would cheer for an obese boy to go through such an unhealthy amount of chocolate cake. By the time he was done, he was my hero.
