Need Point of View Resources for Early Readers?

Are you looking for a way to practice point of view with your students? The Point of View Task Cards – Beginner Set is the perfect resource! This set contains 20 short passages that have students determine if a selection is written in the first or third-person point of view. 

This set of 20 point-of-view task cards can be used with groups ranging from first through third grade. 

Color and blackline versions have been created for each card and an answer key. You’ll also find a student answer sheet for easy grading. These cards are great for test prep and can be used at literacy centers, stations, or partner work in small groups or with the whole class playing Scoot.

Through this activity, students will show the ability to determine the point of view of a text.

👩‍🏫 Try Using the Task Cards in Other Ways

🛴 Scoot Activity 

Place the cards around the room in numerical order and give each student a recording sheet. Assign students or pairs to a starting point card. Give students time to review the card and record their answers in the corresponding space on their paper. Students will rotate to the next card when you say, “SCOOT!” Continue in this manner until students return to their starting point. 

👋 Exit Ticket

Use these cards as a formative assessment after your lesson. Pick a random assortment of cards and project them on the board for the whole class to see. Students can record their answers on paper, sticky notes, or notebooks.
