Charlotte's Web

By: E.B. White

Our Ames Elementary School PTA presents our 2024 One Book, One School program!


Welcome to the Ames One Book One School event! This is a community event where families, students and teachers will be sharing their love for literature by all reading Charlotte's Web by, E.B. White

Parents and Families are encouraged to read aloud the book to their student(s) at home. Reading aloud is valuable because it better prepares effective readers and it also a worthwhile family event! 

You can also listen to the audiobook for each chapter recorded by some of our own Ames teachers! The links can be found under the "Audio Recordings" tab on this website!
