Hey Crazy Characters,
What does the author come right out and say?
What does the author let you infer on your own?
Characterization is the method used by a writer to develop a character. The method includes (1) showing the character's appearance, (2) displaying the character's actions, (3) revealing the character's thoughts, (4) letting the character speak, and (5) getting the reactions of others.
There are two ways an author can convey information about a character:
With direct characterization the author literally tells the audience what a character is like. This may be done via the narrator, another character or by the character him- or herself. With indirect characterization the audience must deduce for themselves what the character is like through the character’s thoughts, actions, speech (choice of words, way of talking), looks and interaction with other characters, including other characters’ reactions to that particular person.
Let's see if we can find some together. Have fun reading and thinking.

You are so great!! I bet your little brothers and sisters love that you read to them. AND the fact that they are ASKING QUESTIONS and talking about what you are reading to them tells me they are thinking about the text!! You are turning into a great teacher for them. Keep them thinking and reading. I bet you your understanding of text will grow as you read to them. Thank you for sharing with me.
