Book overview
A year's worth of reading comprehensions that don't just improve literacy—they help children understand each other.
What if one story could change the way a child sees another child forever?
A Year Through My Neurodiverse Eyes is a unique collection of 39 weekly reading comprehensions designed to build empathy, understanding and acceptance throughout the school year.
Written by teacher, farm school founder and late-diagnosed AuDHD advocate Kellie Marie Russell, this book takes readers on a journey through the everyday experiences of a neurodivergent child. From sensory overload and changing routines to hyperfocus, impulsivity, masking and friendship, each story offers an honest glimpse into what life can feel like when your brain experiences the world differently.
More than just a literacy resource, this book encourages meaningful classroom discussions and helps children develop compassion, curiosity and kindness.
Inside you'll find:
39 weekly reading comprehensions linked to the school year.
Age-appropriate stories inspired by real neurodivergent experiences.
Thought-provoking discussion questions that encourage empathy and understanding.
Vocabulary and comprehension activities to support literacy development.
Opportunities to build inclusive classrooms where every child feels seen, valued and understood.
Perfect for:
Primary school teachers
SENCOs and teaching assistants
Home educators
Parents and carers
Schools promoting inclusion, diversity and wellbeing
Inspired by the author's own journey, her two neurodivergent children and over 20 years of teaching experience, these stories may be fictional, but the emotions behind them are real.
This book is not about teaching children labels.
It is about teaching children people.
Because today's children are tomorrow's friends, neighbours, colleagues, employers and parents.
The understanding they build today has the power to shape a kinder world tomorrow.
Because understanding begins with listening.
Because kindness begins with understanding.
Because different does not mean broken.
"In a world where you can be anything...
Choose to understand.
Choose to accept.
Choose to be kind."
