Point of View in a Story About Moving to the City

Read the story aloud together and pause when you hear I, me, he or she. Ask your child who is talking. Check with the answer key.

Find the first person narrator and pronouns in an original story about moving ten floors up in a city. The narrator tells the story. In first person, the narrator is a character and says I and me. In third person, the narrator is outside the story and says he or she. The directions on the page read: Read the story. Then, turn the page and answer the questions. On page 2: Circle the letter of the best answer. Then, write your answers on the lines. The answer key covers the questions on page 2.

Yes, both. We made it for 3rd Grade point of view, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with narrator point of view. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

An animal narrator shows that a first person narrator does not have to be a person. The cat tells about meeting a new puppy using I and me, just like the other first person stories.

Yes. All six narrator point of view sheets have an answer key, with a sample for the last question, where your child gives their own view.

Point of view is who is telling the story and how they see it. In 3rd grade, children tell whether a story is told in first person (I and me) or third person (he, she and they), and they compare the narrator's or author's view with their own (RL.3.6 and RI.3.6).

Look at the pronouns outside of dialogue. If the narrator says I, me and my, the story is in first person. If the narrator says he, she or they about the characters, it is in third person. The narrator pages ask children to copy two pronouns as proof.

It is what the author thinks about the topic. Authors show it with words like I think, I believe and should, and they give reasons. Children copy the opinion sentences from the article, then write whether they agree.
