Wonderlit Monsters
The Monsters of Emotions
Every one of us is a complex being with the potential to experience a variety of different feelings across a wide emotional spectrum. With this in mind, our Wonderlit Monsters of Emotions are designed to help children understand and express emotions, which is an important aspect of effective communication.
More importantly to us, these monsters have been carefully created to enhance the teaching of our highly interactive programmes. In Wonderlit Read, we utilize each monster’s distinct phonemic name associated with their corresponding letter from the alphabet to introduce sounds to young learners. In Wonderlit Speak and Wonderlit Perform, we employ these monsters to help students explore a wide range of emotions for enhanced performance and stage presence.
Here, you can meet all of them, from Angry Annie to Zonked Zach. Scroll down to meet the monsters whilst expanding your emotional vocabulary. Or visit our Instagram page (@wonderlitworld) to explore the captivating stories of these delightful monsters.
