The students are learning how to find out what the characters are like. We do this by visualizing, or making a mental image in our mind. This pictures in our minds help us to understand what the character is like.
We also think FAST! FAST stands for Feelings, Actions, Sayings/Words, and Thoughts. If we look at how a character feels, what a character does, says, and thinks, we can identify traits of that character.
This week we are reading The Three Little Pigs. We are analyzing each character in the story by visualizing and thinking FAST. Ask your child about it and practice at home.
