When you're reading a book or watching a movie, you can spot character traits by looking at what a character does, says, and how they feel. Those are the clues you can use to describe a character. In the movie Beauty and the Beast, you can tell Gaston is boastful because brags about how cool he is, and you can tell Belle is smart because she likes to read books.

Character traits are the words we use to describe what a character is like on the inside. They show how a character acts, feels, or treats others. For example, a character that helps other might be called kind, while a character who lies might be called dishonest.

To practice using character traits, write a sentence describing yourself! Here are some examples:

I am funny because I like to tell jokes.

I am responsible, because I clean up after myself.
