Skeletal System By Sharon Fabian

---

¹     A skeleton is good for scaring people on Halloween, but it does have other uses too. Your skeleton is what keeps you standing tall. Without your skeleton, you would just be a puddle of skin and stuff on the floor. Not a pretty sight! Your skeleton also protects your most important insides, like your heart, lungs, and brain.
 
²     Here are some of the main parts of your skeleton, starting at the top.
 
³     

Skull--a built-in helmet for your brain   4     spinal column--backbone, made up of vertebrae   5     ribs--surround your heart and lungs   6     sternum--connects some of your ribs in front   7     pelvis--protects digestive and reproductive organs   8     humerus, ulna, and radius--arm bones Paragraphs 9 to 20: For the complete story with questions: click here for printable Weekly Reading Books           Create Weekly Reading Books Prepare for an entire week at once!
