Perspective Shift

This hands-on worksheet helps students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 strengthen reading comprehension, narrative writing, and grammatical accuracy by exploring how point of view shapes a story. Students rewrite short passages by shifting between first-person, second-person, and third-person narration, carefully adjusting pronouns, sentence structure, tone, and voice. Through revision and reflection, learners gain insight into how perspective influences meaning and reader connection.
