About this course
Home Helpers teaches kindergarten to second graders the everyday jobs that make a home run: picking up, making the bed, sorting socks, setting the table, washing fruit and vegetables, caring for plants and pets, telling time, packing a bag, a ten-minute tidy, kind words, being ready and safe, and a Helper badge to finish. Ferris the Fox and the Tomorrow Trail friends show each job as simple steps. Every line is read aloud and every answer is a tap. Saturday is Family Helper Day, when the child does the week's job at home with a grown-up. Every week is free.
