Jaws Starters 3: Mkulu and the Spider

Mkulu and the Spider is one of the charming, illustrated readers in the JAWS Starters Level 3 series, written by Sue Guthrie. The title suggests a story rooted in African culture, likely involving an elder figure, 'Mkulu,' and a clever spider. These books are designed for young African students who are learning to read independently. The short, engaging narrative and controlled language make it an excellent choice for expanding vocabulary and developing reading fluency. The story almost certainly imparts a simple lesson about wisdom, cunning, or the natural world.
