Literature: Charlotte's Web - Native Seakers

One of the domains in the curriculum is the Domain of Appreciation of Language, Literature and Culture. This domain relates to the ability of learners to appreciate literature that is written in English and through it develop sensitivity to a variety of cultures. Charlotte's Web is suitable for Native Speakers in grades 3 and 4.

The following division of skills during class time is suggested as a general guide. Skills do, of course, overlap and should reinforce one another.

reading skills 33% (including SSR – silent sustained reading and intensive reading skills)

writing skills 33% (including writing workshop)

language skills 33% (including grammar, vocabulary, spelling and other activities)

All these skills can be taught while reading Charlotte's Web.
Charlotte's Web is the tale of Charlotte the spider, and her efforts to save the life of her friend, Wilbur the pig. The book is about friendship and has messages of compassion and caring.
