The Mitten Characters Printable

By Vanessa Levin
Last Updated January 9, 2012

Welcome to Pre-K Pages!

I’m Vanessa Levin, a curriculum writer, early childhood teacher, consultant, public speaker, and author. I help busy Pre-K and Preschool teachers plan effective and engaging lessons, create fun, playful learning centers, and gain confidence in the classroom.

Here is a free printable that goes along with the classic story of The Mitten by Jan Brett. The first page has pictures of animals, some are from the story and some are not.

The second page is a t-chart that has picture cues at the top to support non-readers.

Students cut out the pictures of the animals and glue them to the correct side of the t-chart.

One side is titled “Characters in the story” and the other side is titled “Characters not in the story.”

This activity can be used to assess beginning comprehension skills as well as following directions and cutting.
