Spot the Perspective

Want to understand how stories are told? By spotting the perspective, you’ll discover who is narrating and how that changes the way a text feels. This playsheet helps you practice identifying whether writing is in first person, second person, or third person.

You’ll explore examples like “I walked to school” (first person), “You should try this game” (second person), and “She ran down the hill” (third person). Each point of view creates a different experience for the reader.

Through guided activities, you’ll read short passages, underline clues that reveal perspective, and match texts to their correct point of view. You’ll also practice writing your own examples to strengthen your understanding.
