Character Study

This past month we have been thinking deeply about characters in our stories through read-a-louds and independent reading. We have learned about character traits, noticed how characters change throughout a story and thought about the lessons we can learn from the characters in our texts. Although we read and discussed many different characters we focused on two main characters from Kevin Henkes books- Lily and Wendell. Henkes books are wonderful... perfect for character development and lessons to be learned! The kids really enjoyed his stories and are eager to read more.

Looking for some stories to help with character character building and teach lessons? These book suggestions include some other Kevin Henkes books that we did not get to!
