Through My Eyes: Understanding Point of View for Grade 4 

This Grade 4 worksheet on Point of View (Narrative Writing) helps students understand how the narrator’s perspective changes the way a story is told. Using the story “The Art Competition,” learners explore the difference between first-person and third-person narration and how pronouns shape storytelling. 

Through comprehension questions, rewriting tasks, multiple choice questions, fill-in-the-blanks, and paragraph writing, students practise identifying and switching between points of view. This worksheet builds clarity in narration, strengthens grammar skills, and helps children understand how perspective influences emotions and storytelling style. 

Why Point of View Matters in Narrative Writing? 

Understanding point of view is important because: 
1. It helps students identify who is telling the story. 
2. It teaches correct use of pronouns like I, my, she, and her. 
3. It changes how readers connect with the character. 
4. It improves clarity and consistency in storytelling.
