About this worksheet

Characters are the people or animals who take part in a story. Kindergarten children sometimes name the most noticeable object in a picture instead, or repeat an action when asked who did it. This worksheet pairs one brief scene sentence with a direct character question. The approved scenes show a single clear action, such as Noah watering a plant or a hen sitting on a nest, so the child can connect the spoken words with visible evidence. Read the sentence aloud, point to each participant, and ask who performs the action. Support items name the character directly and offer three choices. Harder items mix people and animals or require the child to track a pronoun after hearing the name. Watch whether your child answers what happened rather than who was involved. A useful response begins with a name or an animal word and can be checked against both the sentence and scene.

What your child will learn

  • Identify a person or animal who takes part in a tiny story
  • Connect a character with the action that character performs
  • Answer a who question with a name or animal word
  • Use both spoken text and scene details as evidence

Worked example

Hear ‘Noah waters the plant.’ The question asks who, so choose Noah, the person doing the watering.

Common mistake

Naming an object such as the plant when the question asks for the character doing the action.

Helpful hint

Ask, ‘Who is doing the action?’ Then choose that person or animal.
