Character Traits: Partner Play Scripts and Comprehension Worksheets 2nd 3rd

Do your students enjoy reading scripts? Could they benefit from practice activities where they are required to identify character traits as they read? This set of five partner plays is perfect for students who would benefit from targeted activities that work toward building reading fluency and inferring character traits. These six partner plays are intended to be used as fluency-building activities that 2nd and 3rd grade students can read with a partner.

This file includes a BONUS reading comprehension worksheet. After reading each script, students use text clues to infer character traits for the main characters in each script. They write the words on a supplemental worksheet, citing evidence from the text to support their answers. Two word bank posters are included. Students with a limited vocabulary might benefit from these posters which will allow you to scaffold your students at their present level. One word bank contains twenty character trait vocabulary words. The other word bank contains those same twenty vocabulary words and definitions for each.

This resource is available in multiple formats. Each teacher gets to choose the format that best meets his/her students' needs. You will choose between the printable partner plays and the paperless version that uses Google Slides. If you choose the printable option, you will have access to versions with color clip art and blackline clip art. Each script is exactly two pages, making it easy to print them back-to-back on a single page.

These scripts require minimal teacher support, thereby allowing teachers to work with other small groups. For teachers who implement reading centers, these plays are perfect. These scripts are also ideal for parents who are looking for fun at-home reading activities that parents and children can read together. If you have a child who is reluctant to read at home, I encourage you to give these scripts a try!

This set includes five independent scripts and the following character traits:

• Shopping with Grandma (greedy, generous)
• Another Win (boastful, humble)
• Ella's First Day (bashful, outgoing)
• Picking Teams (rude, caring)
• The Group Project (bossy)

Here's what teachers like you had to say about using these partner plays with their students:

• Carissa S. said, "WOW! The difference this resource made with majority of my students!!!! I did not think it would be such a huge hit, but my students loved these. After reading it a few times, I was able to hear a difference in the fluency and expression."

• Jennifer K. said, "These passages were so great. Students enjoyed them, and they worked great for fluency practice. I also loved that it came with comprehension questions to assess students' understanding of the text as well. "

• Miranda S. said, "My students love reading these with a partner during stations. They are very engaged and enjoy having an opportunity to become an actor. It makes reluctant readers very excited as well."

• Geared to Teach said, "This was so nice for independent use at a literacy center! Students really look forward to doing this without realizing that I'm having them do this for fluency practice! Great product!"
