A cover and 3 pages. The fact file, What Is a Community Helper?, comes with five key words (community, helper, safe, healthy, rules) and three fun facts. Page 2 has five multiple-choice vocabulary questions, such as "Which helper picks up trash and recycling?" Page 3 asks children to name a school helper and to draw and name a helper from their community. The directions on the page read: Read the fact file. Use the key words to help you.

Can I use the Community Helpers Fact File at home and in the classroom?

Yes. We made it for 1st Grade community helpers, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

Each script has parts for several readers. Children practice their lines, then read the script aloud together, which builds fluency and expression.
