Reading Response: Compare Two Characters

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: comparing characters with a shared and different trait

1

Name or draw the first character.

2

Name or draw the second character.

3

Write one thing both characters do, have, or feel.

4

Write one way the first character is different.

5

Write one way the second character is different.

6

Point to a story clue that supports one comparison.

Grown-up guide
  1. Choose two characters who each appear enough to compare fairly.
  2. Read the difference prompts aloud and allow a picture or dictated label.
  3. Ask for one specific story moment rather than accepting a general opinion.
