Community helpers words to read, trace, find and write
Make community helpers worksheets for a child who is learning to read. Pick picture and word cards, a read, trace and write page, a word search, or a write the room set with a recording sheet. The 12 community helpers words each come with one of our own crayon pictures. You can also type your own words.
Your worksheet:
These pages help your child learn new words by sight. Your child sees each community helpers word beside its picture, reads it with you, traces it, finds it in a puzzle and writes it.
Firefighter, police officer, doctor, mail carrier, farmer, builder, nurse, teacher, vet, ambulance, truck, mail. Many of these cannot be sounded out by a beginner yet, so each sheet says that a grown-up reads the words first.
Cards to cut apart for matching and sorting. A page to read, trace and write four words at a time. A word search with words across and down only. A write the room set: hang the numbered cards around the room, and your child finds each one and writes its word. They fit a week about the people who help us.
Read one helper card each day and talk about what that person does: the firefighter puts out fires, the mail carrier brings letters. On a walk, look for helpers and their trucks. Use the write the room cards at home and ask your child which helper they would like to be.
The firefighter and the police officer keep us safe. The doctor and the nurse help when we are sick, and the vet helps sick animals. The farmer grows our food, the builder makes houses and schools, and the mail carrier brings the letters to the door.
After each card, ask: where does this helper work, and what do they use? A doctor uses a stethoscope, a builder a hammer. Your child can draw one helper and write the word under the picture.
Yes. Many children like to draw a picture for the mail carrier or a local fire station. Write the helper's word on it together.

Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
No maker matches that yet. Clear the box to see them all.
