2nd Unit of Study Reading Character Study – Class Checklist, Skills and Strategies to Assess Unit 2 Name Readers make predictions character problems and confirm or revise them. Readers know characters will have problems and keep track of action leading up to the problem until the end. Readers make sure details and scenes fit together by rereading if meaning breaks down. Readers use traits and feelings to describe their characters and notice when characters act out of character or in surprising ways. Readers listen to partners and add more or new thinking characters and ask and answer questions. Readers share their opinions about characters and refer to text that shows why they have that opinion. Readers are prepared for partnerships; jots on feelings; important change; and lessons learned. Readers use read to show the traits and feelings of their characters and role play to show actions.
