Identify the POV

This engaging worksheet helps students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 strengthen reading comprehension and narrative analysis by identifying point of view in short passages. Students read six brief texts and determine whether each one is written in first-person, second-person, or third-person perspective by closely examining pronoun usage and narration style. A creative challenge activity extends learning by asking students to rewrite one passage from a different point of view.
