Reading Faces Answer Key

In this worksheet, students read short narrative passages and choose the facial expression that best matches how the character is feeling. Each question provides four expression options, requiring students to decode emotional cues using both text clues and knowledge of facial features. The activity helps students connect character experiences to visible emotional responses such as smiling, frowning, or appearing shocked. By analyzing cause-and-effect relationships, students strengthen inferencing skills and emotional comprehension. This worksheet promotes empathy and deeper engagement with character behavior.
