This Grade 5 medium worksheet moves into third-person limited and omniscient narrators. Students fill in vocabulary blanks, then match narrator types to short descriptions. They practice noticing whose thoughts a narrator can see, which is the main difference between limited and omniscient. The matching activity reinforces pronoun patterns across all four POVs. By the end, Grade 5 readers can compare narrators with confidence and explain how POV access changes a story.
