Helping at Home by Emma Buckley
Build BackgroundRead the title to children and talk with them about the cover photograph. Help children use their knowledge of household chores to think about the book. Build interest with questions such as these: What are some jobs you do at home? What jobs do other people in your family do to help take care of your home?
Introduce the TextGuide children through the text, helping with unfamiliar words so they can read the text successfully. Here are some suggestions:
Page 2: Explain that this book tells about jobs people do to take care of their home.Suggested language: Turn to page 2. What do you see in the photo? What are this mother and child doing? The fi rst two sentences read: Families work at home. There are many different jobs to do. Say the word different. What letter would you expect to see fi rst in the word different? Find the word different and put your fi nger under it.
Page 3: Remind children that they can use information in the pictures to help them read. What is Sam doing here? Yes, he is making his bed. So the fi rst sentence reads: Sam always makes his bed. Say the word always. Find the word always and put your fi nger under it. Do you always make your bed? Why or why not?
Page 4: What job is Jen helping her dad do? How can you tell that she is happy to help?
Page 8: How does Rob help his Grandpa in this picture? Do you like to plant fl owers? Why or why not? What jobs do you like to do around your house?
Now turn back to the beginning and read to fi nd out about work people do to take care of their home.
Words to KnowHave children turn to the Words to Know at the back of the book. Read each word aloud and then together. Explain any unknown words. Tell children to look for these words as they read.

Writing About ReadingVocabulary PracticeRead the directions and have children complete the Vocabulary questions on BLM 27.1.
RespondingHave children complete the vocabulary activities on page 11.
Building VocabularyJobs at HomeBuild on the words about working at home from Helping at Home. Help children think about the different jobs people do to take care of their home. Suggested language: In this book we learn that people do a lot of things to help their family at home. June helps set the table. Pam helps clean up a mess. What are other things you do to help at home? As children suggest jobs, write their words and sentences on the board or on a large piece of paper. Begin the list with the words I help (or Dad helps or Grandma helps, etc.)
(Possible suggestions: I help feed our chickens. I help clean my room. I help make supper.)
After children have made their suggestions, read the list aloud together, pointing to each word. Look at all the different jobs we have when we help at home!
Writing PromptRead aloud the following prompt. Have children draw and write their response, using the writing prompt on page 6.
What is your favorite job to do at home? Draw a picture of that job.
Write about why you like to do it.
