A Mini-Book Just for Story Characters!

One of the first narrative elements we teach to our littlest learners is characters. Characters can be animals, people, non-living things and make-believe creatures. Characters can talk, have thoughts and have feelings. Objects or things that do not talk, have thoughts or have feelings are not characters.

This mini-book has been designed to familiarise your students with the different types of characters found in stories. It addresses the following content:

  • What is a character?
  • Who is the main character?
  • People
  • Animals
  • Non-Living Things
  • Make-Believe Creatures

A student activity is also included at the end of the mini-book. Students are required to:

  • Read the story. 
  • Circle the character’s name. 
  • Draw and write who the character is.
