On this Grade 2 worksheet, children practice inferring how a character feels. They read very short sentences like Sam jumped up and down and cheered. Then they sort feeling statements, fill in blanks with feeling words like happy, sad, and scared, and answer true or false questions about character emotions. Grade 2 students learn that actions and words are clues that show how people feel inside, even when the text does not say the feeling word.
