Character Traits Anchor Chart – 4-Chart Set
Two illustrated anchor charts teach how readers infer a story character's traits — through what characters say or think, do, feel, and how others describe them — each supplied in a completed poster version and a fill-in-the-blank interactive-notebook version. The chart pairs a four-category graphic organizer (thoughts/words, feelings, actions, and what others say) with a sentence frame, 'This character is (or has) ___. I know this because ___,' for students to justify a trait using text evidence. Teachers can print the completed posters for a bulletin board or hand out the blank versions for students to fill in as guided notes while reading a class novel or short story.
Characters Anchor Chart
An anchor chart defines characters as 'the people or animals that the story is about' and then focuses on the main character, describing them as the most important character and the one central to the story's action. The chart is provided in two matching versions: a fully completed reference page for teacher display, and a second page with key words removed as blanks (e.g., 'the ______ or _______ that the story is about' and 'The MOST __________ CHARACTER'), letting a teacher use it as a fill-in-the-blank activity with students during a shared reading or mini-lesson. Once students can identify a story’s main character, the roll a story printable lets them apply that concept by rolling a character, setting, and story-line into an original story idea.

Contractions Anchor Chart – Grades 1-3 ELA
Two matching contraction charts show how pairs of words combine into one by dropping letters and adding an apostrophe — 'can not' becomes 'can't,' 'I will' becomes 'I'll,' 'would have' becomes 'would've.' The first chart is fully completed with all seventeen example pairs, ready to display or read as-is. The second repeats the identical seventeen contractions but leaves the definition's key words blank, so students fill in 'two,' 'one,' and 'apostrophe' themselves before using the chart as a reference. Grouped by base word — not, will, have, and am/is/are — the contractions move from the most common pattern to more irregular ones, giving students a structured reference for reading and writing.
