remember the characters. Give them one index card for each character in the book and have them tape them inside a manila folder. They can write the name of each character on a card and list all the main characteristics and relationships from the book. The student can use the grid for reference whenever they get confused.<o:p></o:p>Our <a href="http://www.teach-nology.com/worksheets/language_arts/reading_comp/">Reading Comprehension section</a> has many resources to help you with reading and remembering.<o:p></o:p>Members also have full access to over <a href="http://www.teach-nology.com/gold/samples/worksheets/readingcomp/">1,500 reading worksheets and lessons.</a><o:p></o:p>You will also find a complete set of character mapping organizers in our <a href="http://www.teach-nology.com/worksheets/graphic/">graphic organizer section</a> as well as an additional <a href="http://www.teach-nology.com/gold/samples/worksheets/graphorg/">1,150+ graphic organizers</a> to help you along.<o:p></o:p>Teachers <a href="http://www.teach-nology.com/gold/worksheets.html">become a Teach-nology member now</a>!
