Quiet Talkers

This worksheet focuses on how giraffes communicate using quiet sounds, body language, and even scent. Calves bleat, adults hum at night, and giraffes may “neck” to show strength. Body language such as raising their heads or kicking is used to handle threats. Giraffes also use scent glands on their legs to communicate territory. The worksheet highlights the subtle yet effective ways giraffes stay connected in the wild.

Students explore diverse communication methods, building vocabulary like “scent glands” and “territory.” Reading fluency is supported through consistent sentence structure and new terminology. Critical thinking develops as students compare animal and human communication styles. Phoneme recognition improves with multisyllabic science terms. The worksheet ties language arts to real-world biological behavior.
