It happens to be one of the most beloved classics of most adults’ youth: Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White .  A pig, a spider, a friendship that is enduring and selfless…what more could you want in a book?  This one teaches so many life lessons and introduces our children to an array of farm animals and personality types that they can learn so very much from.  If you haven’t already read it, you are missing out!

Many people love this book because it’s a classic, but it’s the perfect book for teaching moral and character values to young children as well. E.B. White is a master at mixing social-emotional learning, character values, the importance of friends and family, and relationships in this book. His other stories, Stuart Little and Trumpet of the Swan, are also highly popular. Vocabulary that supports character development within the book are words that Charlotte the spider spun in her web such as humble and radiant .

Wilbur the pig just wants a friend. A true friend is what he gets, and the story develops around the theme of friendship. Children can relate to Wilbur and learn to admire Charlotte. They emulate the love that a girl named Fern has for her pet.

This is a Newberry Honor book. In my opinion, it’s a great read for children in grades 2-4. I used the book when I taught 3rd grade in public school, and it’s one of my favorite children’s books ever, alongside The Velveteen Rabbit.

Charlotte’s Web Novel Study with Free Resources and Ideas:

Let’s go beyond the book itself, isn’t that what we do as homeschool families?  There is so much more depth to learn about from farm animals to fair food, vocabulary to coloring.  What is the best part of this unit study?  These are all links to *FREE* resources you can use as you teach this classic in your home. There are a few that aren’t free, but they are worth mentioning. So what supplements are available for Charlotte’s Web?  Read on…

Charlotte’s Web Teaching Resources, Lesson Plans and Resources

E. B White’s timeless tale of an unlikely friendship between a spider and Pig in Charlotte’s Web is the most popular children’s paperback of all time.

Published in 1952, Charlotte’s Web embodies numerous life lessons, and messages applicable to children of all ages in any era.

This charming tale unravels at a beautiful pace to give readers an authentic sense of the cycle of life on Zuckerman’s farm. 

Charlotte, ( the spider ) uses all of her charm, energy and wit to prove to Wilbur, ( the pig ) and subsequently, the whole community everyone is unique and talented.  Furthermore, she exemplifies to all that a little act of kindness can go a very long way.

The story has been retold in a number of formats but is best applied to students as a text.  There are numerous plays and screen adaptations of this timeless tale but the 2006 cinematic version starring Dakota Fanning is an excellent screen adaptation of E.B White’s book.

We hope you enjoy our Charlotte’s Web collection. And be sure to check out our other significant literary collections, including Where the Wild things Are , Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Narnia:  The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.

This activity will allow students to think about the order of events in Charlotte’s Web.  As students recall, specific actions that were performed by the characters, they are practising the vital reading skill known as sequencing.  Undoubtedly, knowing the order in which events happen is a key skill in reading comprehension. 

Working with quotes from Charlotte’s Web

This activity will allow students to think about several key quotes from Charlotte’s Web.  This activity would work great as a pre-reading assessment since it would allow students to reflect on what the words really reveal about the character BEFORE they truly get to know the characters.  As students think about how spoken language creates personalities, they will gain more insight into the characters that entertain us throughout E. B. White’s book, Charlotte’s Web.

Teaching persuasive writing through Charlotte’s Web

Persuasive writing is when an author writes to try to convince someone to share their feelings on a topic.  Obviously, Fern wanted to keep Wilbur.  She certainly didn’t want Mr. Arable to kill him.  As students think about the reasons that Mr Arable should keep Wilbur, they will strengthen their opinion as to why Mr. Arable should keep him.

Cereal Box Book Reports – A Fun Alternative!

Share this Post

If you’ve never tried Cereal Box Book Reports, I suggest you give it a try! Teachers are always looking for unique ways to assess their students’ comprehension of fiction books and novels they have read. Many teachers find traditional book report alternatives to be extremely helpful in getting students excited about reading. Sometimes, however, students crave s omething a little bit different . Enter Cereal Box Book Reports!

A few years ago, I started using  Cereal Box Book Reports  as a Reading  project. My students LOVED making them, I noticed a big difference in their engagement in the book report process, and they were so excited to share their final projects. We even left the finished products on display in the classroom!

CEREAL BOX BOOK REPORTS

I suggest having a parent helper work with you to cover all the cereal boxes with white bulletin board paper before you introduce the projects. It saves a TON of work!

Before we began the project, I gave each student a scoring rubric so they knew exactly what was expected. We went over the rubric together. 

Then, I explained that cereal names must correlate to the novel they had chosen to read. These two projects were for the books  Charlotte’s Web  and  Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone .

My students loved having the freedom to choose their own novel (pre-approved) and get creative in matching the theme of their cereal box book report to the book! 

While creating their reports, students wrote the book summaries on one side panel of the cereal box.  They identified and described the setting and main characters on the other side panel.

On the back of the cereal box book report, students created a fun game or activity related to the book. Some made a word search, while others designed mazes, word scrambles, or riddles. 

The title, name of the author, and book ratings were added to the top of the cereal box book reports.

You can either create your own rubric and project directions for your own students, or if you would like to save time, check out my popular, ready-to-print Cereal Box Book Report Packet !

Take a closer look at the complete cereal box book report project below:
