Meet the Heroes in Your Book! 📖
Introduction
When we read, we meet many people who live inside the story. These people are called Characters. Finding out who they are helps the story feel real and fun!
1. Who Is the Character?
- Look at the name. Is it a boy, a girl, an animal, or a magic creature?
- Ask: “Who is talking?” or “Who is doing something?”
2. What Do They Look Like?
- Notice the words that tell us about size, color, or shape.
- Example: “A tall, blue dragon with sparkling wings.”
- Imagine the character in your mind—like drawing with thoughts!
3. How Do They Feel?
- Feelings are clues. Words like happy, sad, scared, or excited tell us what the character thinks.
- When a character feels something, we can understand why they act the way they do.
4. Why Do We Find Characters?
- Characters help us follow the story’s adventure.
- They teach us lessons, like sharing, being brave, or caring for friends.
- By spotting characters, we can guess what might happen next.
