๐ Topic Summary
Identifying characters is a super important skill for young readers! ๐ Characters are the 'who' in a story โ they can be people, animals, or even imaginary creatures. When your kindergarteners learn to spot who the story is about, they start to understand what's happening and why. It helps them follow along, predict what might happen next, and connect with the story on a deeper level. We find characters by looking for their names, what they say, and what actions they do in the story! ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
