Character

This week we will think more about Character, or WHO the story is about. Remember:

  • Illustrations should help us understand the characters' personalities

  • Illustrations should show how the characters feel and what they are thinking (often through facial expressions and body language)

  • Illustrations should help us see if a character grows or changes

As you watch the read-aloud videos, ask yourself "Do the illustrations help me get to know the characters in this book?"
