Foundation Inferring Character Traits Unit | Worksheets, Games & Assessment

This Foundation Inferring Character Traits unit helps students use clues from a character’s actions, words, thoughts and feelings to infer what the character is like. Students practise matching simple trait words to evidence, explaining their thinking with “I think ... because ...”, and using clues from short familiar story situations.

It is designed for Foundation English lessons focused on literature response, listening and reading comprehension, oral discussion, early written responses, character clues and evidence-based thinking.
