Everyone loves Charlottes Web and who can resist these adorable graphics! I used the book Some Pig ~ A Charlottes Web Picture Book by E.B. White and illustrated by Maggie Kneen as the springboard text to this week of literacy centers. However, Fern, Wilbur, and Charlotte are well known characters so these literacy centers could easily be used while reading the novel, after watching the movie, or simply on their own! This is not a Charlottes Web unit but would make a great addition to a unit you already have. This is a pack of 5 literacy centers that can be done to teach or reinforce important reading and word skills. Every center includes bright, colorful graphics, a center label card, a directions card, and a follow-up worksheet with black and white graphics (for better photocopying!).

Literacy Centers:

(1) Charlottes Compound Words
Students will read each sentence and identify the compound word in the sentence.
Students will use the cards to make the compound words.
Once they have completed all 12 sentences students will complete the follow-up worksheet.

(2) Synonyms With Fern and Wilbur
Students will read each sentence and find the synonym card for the word in the dotted box.
Once they have completed all 12 sentences students will complete the follow-up worksheet.

(3) Adjectives For Fern
Students will read each sentence and match the adjective that describes Fern in that sentence.
Once they have completed all 8 sentences students will complete the follow-up worksheet where they will match the adjective with proof from the text (included so book not necessary)

(4) Templetons Word Sort (Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives)
Students will sort the words into nouns, verbs, and adjectives.
Once they have sorted all 24 words students will complete the follow-up worksheet.

(5) Wilburs Contractions
Students will make 8 contraction sets.
Once they have matched the sets students will complete the follow-up worksheet.

My class loved these activities and I was thrilled to see them actively engaged for the entire language period!

Please have a look at the preview so that you can see everything that is included.

Happy Teaching!
