📚 Topic Summary
Character traits are special words that describe what a character is like. They tell us about a character's personality, how they act, and what they think. We can figure out these traits by paying close attention to what the character says, does, and how they interact with others in a story. When we know a character's traits, we understand the story better!
For example, if a character always shares their toys, we might say they are kind. Or, if a character never gives up, we might say they are brave. Let's practice spotting these traits!
