Point of view is how a story is told in Grade 3 reading, and learning it helps readers understand who is speaking and whose thoughts they are hearing. In first-person point of view, the narrator is inside the story as a character and uses pronouns like I, me, my, we, and us. The Grade 3 reader hears the narrator's own feelings and ideas directly. In third-person point of view, the narrator stands outside the story and uses pronouns like he, she, him, her, they, and them. The narrator watches the action and tells what each character does. Grade 3 students also learn to tell the narrator apart from the characters. A narrator tells the story, while a character acts and thinks inside the story. Sometimes two Grade 3 characters see the same event in different ways. One character may feel scared while another feels brave. Noticing these different viewpoints helps readers understand each character's perspective. By meeting CCSS RL.3.6, Grade 3 learners practice spotting pronoun clues, naming first-person or third-person narrators, and comparing viewpoints in fun stories every day.

  • Grade 3 students can confuse narrator point of view with a character's viewpoint when both appear in the same story.
