They are talking about adding a pc of wood between and along the upper and lower spar. This creates an I beam of sorts and adds strength. Sometimes plans allow for the web to simply go on the ouside but usually it is in between.
Also the grain of the wood used for shear webs is usually vertical.
If you need a pic let me know, I am sure I can find a wing around here somewhere.
