A Big Spider

A Big Spider is an expository text that invites readers to learn about big spiders and the burrows that they make, the food that they eat, the hair on their body, and how they shed their skin.

Illustrations enhance and extend the meaning of the text and are found on each page. Callouts prompt prediction and allow students to make inferences. An index is presented.

Some dialogue is presented and simple adjectives are used. To conclude, a labels page asks readers to properly label a spider. In addition, a word bank with text and imagery is provided.
