Reading Homework Review - Point of View & Perspective Fiction Stories

This resource is a weekly review of point of view and how point of view influences a story. This can be used for homework, morning work, or classwork. It would be perfect to use during a literature unit or after the unit for reinforcement.

About the Paired Point of View and Perspective Reading Homework

This resource contains 4 paired fiction stories written at two levels: 4th/5th grade level and 3rd/4th grade level.

One set of paired stories is meant to be used for an entire week.

There is a different assignment each day with the same set of paired stories.

The students will revisit the passages each day to complete the daily assignment. This will support a deeper understanding of the stories and provide the student a chance to practice close reading.

There are 3 options for the daily assignments for you to choose from based on your students' needs. A blank directions page is also included if you want to write in your own directions for the daily assignments.

For each option, Monday through Wednesday are general, open-ended responses to the text, and Thursday is a set of text-dependent questions specific to each set of stories. The questions in this set are all short answer.

Follow these steps to assign the review work:

1. Choose and print the directions and passage level you want to use.

2. Print the Thursday comprehension questions.

3. Staple the three pages and you have a week’s worth of review ready for your students.

An answer key with suggested answers is included.
