People Are Working Level 6-8

People Are Working offers a fascinating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes preparation that takes place before a museum opens its doors to the public. This non-fiction text introduces young readers to a range of workers who perform important jobs-from cleaners and security staff to exhibit organisers. With clear, engaging photographs (including helpful insets), the book highlights the diversity of tasks involved in making a museum ready for visitors. The text structure is repetitive and predictable, which helps build confidence in early readers. Punctuation such as question marks, exclamation marks, and quotation marks support expressive reading and allow students to explore tone and intent. This title offers a valuable introduction to careers and roles within the community, encouraging discussion about jobs people do every day.
