For the child who says, "I want to be a firefighter when I grow up!"
And for any child who wants a gentle behind-the-scenes look at being a
firefighter.
My brother and I both want to be firefighters, but we can't decide what
kind to be. When firefighters from Fire District 1 visit our school for
Fire Safety Day, we learn that there are firefighters who fight forest
fires and work at airports to help with airplane emergencies. Did you
know that there are other kinds of firefighters too? There are
firefighters who figure out how a fire started and fight fires before
they even happen. Maybe I'll be a firefighter, too?
With this story blending narrative with nonfiction, readers meet the
many different kinds of firefighters who do so much to support our
communities.
I Want to Be a Firefighter is part of an I Can Read series that
introduces young readers to important community helpers. This Level One
I Can Read and Guided Reading Level J is perfect for children learning
to sound out words and sentences. Whether shared at home or in a
classroom, the short sentences, familiar words, and simple concepts of

their own.
