Point of View and Perspective Resources

On Education.com, educators and parents can access worksheets, printable activities, and lesson plans designed to teach students about point of view and perspective in storytelling. These resources include graphic organizers, reading comprehension exercises, Venn diagrams, and interactive games that help students understand the difference between a story’s narrative point of view (first, second, or third person) and a character’s personal perspective, including feelings, beliefs, and motivations. Resources are designed for various grade levels and provide engaging, hands-on ways to explore how stories are told and experienced.

Point of view and perspective refer to the way stories are narrated and how characters’ individual emotions and opinions influence the narrative. Understanding these concepts helps students analyze literature, develop empathy, and enhance reading comprehension. In a first-person narrative, a character tells the story from their perspective using “I”. In a third-person narrative, the story is told by an external narrator using “he,” “she,” or “they.” Recognizing characters’ perspectives allows readers to consider different viewpoints and interpret events more deeply.

Teachers and parents can use these point of view and perspective resources to support classroom instruction, reading practice, and creative writing exercises. Practice activities allow students to identify narrative point of view in texts, write from multiple perspectives, and compare how stories change based on narration style. These materials make it easy to incorporate fun and educational practice into lessons, helping students strengthen critical thinking, comprehension, and storytelling skills.
