A ladder is like a staircase you can carry, helping you reach high places.
Imagine you want to get onto a table that’s too tall to jump up to. A ladder acts like a set of steps you can walk on, one rung at a time, so you can climb right up to the top. It’s just like the stairs in your house, but instead of being fixed, it moves with you.
How Ladders Work
Ladders have rungs, which are the horizontal bars you step on. When you push the ladder against a wall or a surface, it stays upright so you can climb safely. The more rungs there are, the higher you can go!
Why We Use Ladders
Examples
