Narrator Check-Up

This reading and language worksheet helps students strengthen their understanding of narrative point of view by analyzing short sentences and identifying whether each one is written in first person, second person, or third person. Students label each sentence using 1 (first person), 2 (second person), or 3 (third person), reinforcing careful reading and grammatical awareness.

By focusing on pronouns and sentence structure, students learn how narration changes depending on who is telling the story.
