Community Helpers units and themes are always popular in early childhood classrooms because they are so engaging. Kids love to learn about firefighters, police officers, doctors, and more – and how they help their community! We can do this by incorporating fun, community helper-themed games and activities. This free Community Helpers Easy Reader is a great book to add to your collection, or to read just for fun!
*Pair with our Easy Readers MEGA Bundle!
Community Helpers Easy Reader
This reader comes in both color and black and white, which makes it great for the classroom or at home teaching!
You can print 2-sided (download below) and laminate a colored copy to keep on hand to reread anytime (use a binding machine to make it even more book-like!). Then, print and staple black and white copies that are perfect for kids to color and keep for themselves!
I have several kids who love anything and everything to do with firefighters, so the cover grabbed their attention straight away!
How to Use the Easy Reader
The community helpers included in this book are dentist, firefighter, veterinarian, farmer, doctor, police officer, detective, and librarian.
This book has repetitive text, which makes it great for early readers as an introduction to high-frequency words, following text, and building their reading confidence.
When using this reader in the classroom I first read aloud the color version, pointing out the high-frequency words I, am, and a.
After I read aloud the color version, we each get our own copy to color and keep. My group this year LOVES coloring, so this was their favorite part I think!
When we are finished, we usually put the readers in our book boxes to practice for a while, and then we take them home.
