Identifying characters is a fundamental reading comprehension skill, particularly crucial for children aged 5-7, who are typically in the early stages of literacy development. At this age, young readers are not just learning to decode words on a page but also beginning to understand and interpret the stories they read. Being able to identify and differentiate characters is essential because it helps children make sense of the narrative and develops their overall comprehension.

Understanding characters helps children grasp the story's structure, sequence, and emotional arc. When children can name and describe the characters, they improve their ability to recall details, predict outcomes, and make connections between the text and their own experiences. This not only makes reading more enjoyable but also fosters critical thinking and empathy as they recognize different perspectives and emotions.

For teachers and parents, focusing on character identification provides valuable insight into a child's reading progress and comprehension level. It also offers a starting point for deeper discussions about the book, which further enriches the child's vocabulary and critical thinking skills. Encouraging kids to talk about characters—who they are, what they do, and why they matter—turns reading into an interactive and engaging activity, laying a strong foundation for future literacy and academic success.
