I just found this blog (by trolling around other blogs, of course) and saw this great idea for learning new spelling words all while enjoying Charlotte's Web.
Such a cute idea that I just had to share with all of you.

Spelling and Vocabulary. I found Charlotte’s Web to be a great story for my new reader (Firefly) and my blossoming reader (The Queen Bee). In the story, Charlotte is looking for new words to spell in her web, so I came up with this fun activity for the kids.
I drew simple spider webs with white pencil onto dark colored paper using this tutorial and had the kids spell out all of the words that Charlotte spins in her web. They began by sounding out the words on their own first, then by copying the corrected versions.
Go to the county fair. Our county has one coming up in a couple of weeks. We hope to see the animals and will be on the lookout for the blue ribbon winners, just like the ribbon Wilbur hoped to win in Charlotte’s Web.
I just love this idea to help the kiddos learn how to read and spell new words. I feel like I could this with my 2nd graders spelling list as well as my kinder's sight words.
Hurrah! Love fun learning ideas. I can't wait to incorporate this into our daily living.
Hope you enjoy.
