Who Is in the Story? Characters

Find the characters, the people or animals a story is about.

Characters are the people, animals, or creatures a story is about. The main character is the one the story follows most. To find characters, look for names and for words like 'he', 'she', and 'they'. Read: 'Rosa and her grandpa went fishing.

Grandpa caught a boot! Rosa laughed so hard she dropped her pole. ' The characters are Rosa and Grandpa. Rosa is the main character, because the story ends with what she does.

You can learn about a character from what they say, what they do, and how they feel.
