Have fifth graders each read a snippet over the
intercom each morning. One snippet is for PreK-2 and the other is 3-5.
It is a few sentences from a popular book, must include the main
character's name. Children can guess the title of the book. One winner
is chosen for each group per day. Rewards are either left over bookfair
books or a coupon to check out additional books.

Listen to Charlotte's
Web. Hear E.B. White read from
his book, virtually visit his farm (in
the “Down East” part of Maine) and watch
a spider, like Charlotte, spin a web.
Also learn how she catches (and eats)
food, observe how she lays eggs and find
out how her wingless babies (called
spiderlings) can “fly” (or “balloon”)
from the place where they were hatched.
