Early Stage 1

Characters in Books

​

In a book the character is who or what the story is about.

In Possum Magic by Mem Fox, Hush is the main character. Another character in the story is Grandma Poss.

In Whitney and Britney Chicken Divas by Lucinda Gifford, Whitney and Britney are the main characters. Another character in the story is their friend Dora Von Doze.

Listen to Thelma The Unicorn by Aaron Blabey, read by the author for Scholastic..

Thelma the Unicorn is a lovely story about a horse, who wants to be a unicorn. Fate steps in and suddenly, Thelma is a unicorn!

Adjectives are words that describe people, places and things. We use adjectives to give detail to characters for what they look like and how they feel e.g. short, big, hairy, happy, sad, shy.
