Synopsis:
Auggie & Me gives readers a special look at Auggie’s world through three new points of view.
These stories are an extra peek at Auggie before he started at Beecher Prep and during his first year there. Readers get to see him through the eyes of Julian, the bully; Christopher, Auggie’s oldest friend; and Charlotte, Auggie’s new friend at school.
| Note to readers: |
| • |
Read the inside flap for summaries of each character perspective.
|
| • |
The book is divided into 3 different peoples perspective on their relationship with Auggie. I recommend beginning on page 28 for part 1, the beginning for part 2, and page 188 for part 3. You can read a few chapters from each part to give kids an idea of each person's relationship with Auggie.

*Note: These craft ideas are just suggestions.
You can use them, but you don't have to use them.
You can expand upon them, or add your own twist.
Remember, though, that the focus of your time should
not be on the development and execution of a craft;
the focus should be on the read-aloud and the
enjoyment of the book!
