Community helpers is one of the most universally taught units in English-speaking preschools and kindergartens — and it is often one of the first social studies topics ESL children encounter. Knowing these English words helps ESL children participate in 'what do you want to be when you grow up?' discussions, identify community helpers they encounter in daily life and understand safety instructions from police officers and firefighters. For immigrant families, knowing that 'police officer' means protection and 'firefighter' means safety in their new country is particularly valuable.
The app covers all the community helpers that appear in English preschool and kindergarten social studies units — giving ESL children a head start in this core first-year curriculum topic.
