Louis is a trumpeter swan with no voice! How will he communicate and win a mate? If you loved Charlotte's Web, we bet you'll also enjoy The Trumpet of the Swan, also by E. B. White.

With our Read-Aloud Poster for The Trumpet of the Swan you will:

• draw portraits of important characters
• record swan facts
• trace character movements on a map
• explore new vocabulary

Of course, we've also included Read-Aloud Poster favorites: discussion questions, reader evaluations, and a chapter tracker! 

We’re excited to introduce a new activity on this poster: location flags! You'll use story details to complete these 3-D flags and add them to the story map.

We think this book is best for ages 6 and up, and is particularly great as a follow-up to Charlotte's Web! (Oh, yes, we have a Read-Aloud Poster for that.)

Read all about the poster in our Spotlight Blog Post here.

Print sizes: Because this poster incorporates a refrigerator door that prints as a separate file, it is important to print both the Read-Aloud Poster and the door at the sizes specified.

Read-Aloud Poster: In the US, print as an Arch E1 blueprint (30x42 inches), and do NOT scale to fit. This will print the poster at 28x40 inches with some extra margin. Outside the US, print at the closest minimum equivalent measure. 

Location Flags: Print on 18x24 inch paper (copy shop) or 8.5x11 inch paper at home.

Activity Guide: Print on 8.5x11 paper.

Note: This Read-Aloud Poster, location flags, and accompanying Activity Guide are digital downloads, so be sure to provide your e-mail on the checkout page! You’ll receive the links to the three files in a separate e-mail from SendOwl Downloads. You will have a limited number of downloads. Please save to your computer before opening on another device.
