This Unit Plan supports the Community Club student activities.

Overview

Where do horses go for a check-up? Who brings electricity into our homes? Community Club answers these questions and more through easy-to-read stories featuring every day community workers. Designed for emergent readers, the stories provide colorful photographs, simply written text, and an audio feature to support students' reading and comprehension. Upon completing a short quiz, students are rewarded with a badge signed by the community worker.

  1. Read for information about the workers in the community
  2. Use visual cues and context to read new words
