Point of View Worksheets
Identifying the narrator's view point is an essential reading skill that is often assessed on standardized tests. Be sure to discuss the narrative perspective of each text that you introduce to your students. But first build your students' skills with these point of view worksheets. They will give your students ample practice with identifying the narrator's perspective in a variety of texts.
These worksheets cover first-person, second-person, third-person objective, third-person limited, and third-person omniscient modes of narration. They require students to explain their answers and sometimes highlight characters' thoughts. Many of these worksheets have online versions that can be completed on phones, tablets, and desktops. These Ereading Worksheets allow students to save, print, or email their scores and explanations as PDF files. Please comment below if you like them.

Viewpoint Pilot: Point of View Video Game
Students blast their way across the Universe while answering HUNDREDS of questions about point of view in this classic arcade-style shooter. Collect cool power-ups and outmaneuver over 20 different types of enemies. When students get hit, they must answer a question about point of view to proceed. In the early levels, students are quizzed on first, second, and third-person narration. In the later levels, students must distinguish between objective, limited, and omniscient narrative modes. What a fun way to master point of view.
Having a sense of perspective is so important.

/ May 20, 2019Hello,
thankyou for an excellent resource site.
I tutor online. What are the conditions I must follow for copyright purposes?
May I just privately email the worksheets for students to complete?
What if they forward them? I doubt they would forward them but I ask anyway.
Is it allowed that students have the sheets on their computer?
I believe saving any of them on Google Drive is putting it in the public and therefore a no no. What if the setting is saved to only my students can access the Google Drive?
Sorry for all of the questions, I just want to get it legal and ethical.
Thankyou kindly.

Mr. Morton
/ October 3, 2018Bear with me while I update the answer keys site wide. They should be able to print currently. Use the arrows to click through the pages. Click the images of the answer keys to enlarge them. Use CTRL + P to print. I’m going to make it easier to print, but currently I’m trying to make them all more mobile-friendly.
Thanks for visiting!
