Class Read Aloud: Charlotte's Web
Educational Purpose:
Charlotte's Web provides an excellent ability to teach new words to children. Vocabulary is one of the best things to practice while reading this book. Kids learn how to use context clues to figure out the meaning of a new word and listen to the characters as they discuss and use it.
