Why Jobs Matter

Say why a helping job is important.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child says why a helping job is important. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 20

Jobs matter because other people count on them.
If nobody waters the plants, they droop. Watering keeps them healthy.
If nobody puts books away, the next person can't find one. Putting them away helps.
Your turn! If nobody picks up the toys, someone could trip. Picking them up keeps the floor safe.
Try it with a grown-up! Do one job, then say who it helped.
