What is a good age to read Charlotte's Web with our daughter?
Answer:
You should definitely start now!
My parents started reading things to me when I was very young, that were above my level. When I didn't understand something, they would explain it. This "extra" practice at reading and comprehending from a young age gave me an unfair advantage over my peers in school and also on those dumb standardized government tests like SATs and the WASL for example.
Give your child the chance to broaden her mind with your help, and she'll go far! Kudos to you both for spending that time with your child! Not many parents do that anymore!
I was 5 when my parents started reading longer books one chapter per night. Charlotte's Web was one of them. I loved it.
Now is the time.
you can read it to her now...but she wont be able to read it till like 3rd-5th grade..
I think now, my son loves the movie, he's 4.
I think that it is a fine idea to start already. When I lived in England, the teacher read us Charlotte's Web in third grade.
about 9 yrs old because we had that for our book report for grade 4 so it isnt really suitable for 5 year old children
any age is good its good to read to child at any age. i read it to my five yaer old and she loved it.
That is OK. Mostly at this age children will listen to your voice while they fall asleep so it does not matter what you read them. I know that when I was in grade school our class read Charlotte's Web in I think 3rd grade. Oh and kudos to you for reading to your child. This is a great bonding time that she will always remember. Some parents don't seem to have the time or the want to sit down and read to their child.
I would say wait a year or two. I am a librarian and the mother of a five year old and at that age they still need pictures and a short story. If your child has a long attention span try a chapter or two and see if she seems interested. Try to read a bit and then discuss what you have read. That will tell you if she comprehends. Good luck and keep reading!
perfect timing if you ask me
Its never too early, it will give a greater appreciation for you and for reading. Read as much as you possibly can.
it depends what you want her to get out of it - if it just a new time story start reading it now but if you want her to understand it and remember everything i would wait just a little long---
Read it to her now :)
Now is fine. My kids watched the movie at 3.
How wonderful! And what a great Dad you are for thinking about this. Literacy is so important nowdays. I think that Charlottes Web is a great book. Reading a chapter a night is not only good for her as far as learning, but also a great bonding time!! Another good one is "watership down"... AWESOME book.
Another great idea... When you get done with the book.. rent the movie.. and also watership down has a movie too.. could be some bonding time for the both of you!
What a great parent!
