Reading Skills - Week 1 - Class 3

Read the following paragraph aloud with your parents.

Spider Webs

All the spiders spin webs. That's because webs help spiders. Webs help spiders do three things.Web help spiders hold eggs. Webs help spiders hide. And webs help spiders catch food.

Many spiders like to lay eggs in their webs. The webs keep the eggs together. Webs help spiders keep their eggs safe. Webs help spiders hide. Most spiders are dark. They are brown, grey or black. But spider webs are light. They are white and cloudy. When spiders hide in their webs, they are harder to see.Webs help spiders catch food. Spider webs are sticky. When a bug flies into the web, it gets stuck. It moves around. It tries to get out. But it can't. It is trapped! Spiders can tell that the bug is trapped. That's because spiders feel the web move. And the spider is hungry. The spider goes to get the bug.

As you can see, webs help spiders hold eggs. Webs help spiders hide. And webs help spiders catch food. Without webs, spiders would not be able to live like they do. Spiders need their webs to survive!

So, students I hope u all have understood the importance of spider webs for the spiders.
