THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION IS FOR THE FULL RESOURCE
About this Resource:
This resource is a study of the novel Charlotte’s Web, written by E.B. White. The Novel Study Guide includes vocabulary and comprehension questions for each chapter of the novel. Students are meant to read the chapter, then answer the matching questions for that chapter. Teachers can choose to hand the questions out one chapter at a time, or group them into sections. A natural section break is provided in this guide with assessment-style puzzles. Teachers can hand out the chapter sections, followed by the assessment puzzle.
About the Chapter Worksheets:
Each chapter includes 4 pages: a Vocabulary page, Short Answer page, Long Answer page, and Answer Key.
Vocabulary: 10 words taken from the chapter are listed with their meanings. 10 fill-in-the-blank questions are given. Students must finish each sentence using a vocabulary word.
Short Answer: 6 True or False questions are provided. Students must answer each statement as True or False. 6 multiple choice questions are provided. Students must answer each question with the best answer option.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Define and correctly use ten Chapter 1 vocabulary words, such as runt, injustice, and specimen, in context.
Recall factual details from Chapter 1 through true-or-false and multiple choice questions.
Explain a character's motivations and personality traits, such as why Fern defends the runt pig, using evidence from the text.
Teaching tips
Assign the vocabulary page before reading the chapter, since the fill-in-the-blank sentences reinforce word meaning as students read.
Use the true-or-false and multiple choice questions as a quick comprehension check immediately after reading.
Reserve the long-answer page for classroom discussion or written response, since several prompts (such as explaining Fern's point of view) call for open-ended reasoning rather than a single correct answer.
Skills covered
Vocabulary acquisition — students learn and apply ten Chapter 1 words through definitions and a fill-in-the-blank exercise.
Literal comprehension — true-or-false and multiple choice questions check recall of specific chapter details, such as Fern's age and what the kitchen smelled like.
Character analysis and inference — long-answer questions ask students to explain Fern's motivations and compare her perspective to the runt pig's situation.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
What do the long-answer questions ask students to consider about Fern's point of view?
Two of the six long-answer prompts specifically ask students to take Fern's perspective, one asking what similarities she might see between herself and the pig, another asking students to explain a passage about her feeling lucky to have "entire charge" of the pig.
