Characters Unit for ELA Common Core

This Common Core-Aligned ELA unit focuses on the characters in the story and can be used with ANY book or selection that you are currently reading in your classroom. The activities can be used with novel studies, basal stories, independent studies, or in a reading center over and over again! They will work with whole group, small group, or independently depending on the needs of your students. It is aligned for grades 1-3. I have included many types of activities that involve higher order thinking and differentiated learning. I hope that these activities prove to be more than just "worksheets" for your students. Please download the preview file to see all that's included! Enjoy!
