Identifying character traits is an approachable way to get students used to the rigorous expectations for deep thinking about literature. Students must use text clues to make inferences, and they must also be able to support their answers with details from the plot. Character discussions can be great for building vocabulary and helping students build a bank of interesting adjectives they can use as they begin writing their own stories. Children who learn character traits have better success in relationships both at school and outside of school. Thus, word search on character traits encourages the brain to stay focused and would be good for beginners, maybe kindergarten to about second grade. The words are either vertically or horizontally hidden.
