This second hard worksheet challenges first graders with a mixed review of community helper skills. Students read short two-sentence clues describing a worker's place and tool, then write the helper's name on the line using a word bank of eight choices. Items cover dentist, librarian, baker, nurse, bus driver, farmer, police officer, and firefighter.
The combined reading, vocabulary, and writing tasks prepare Grade 1 students for Grade 2 social studies assessments.
