Lesson Introduction: Determining the Author’s Point of View

When you read a story or article, the author isn’t just sharing facts or events—they’re sharing how they see those events. This is called the author’s point of view. It’s the lens through which the story is told, and it affects how we understand the characters, actions, and message.

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to figure out who is telling the story and how they feel about what’s happening. You’ll practice noticing clue words like I, we, or they, and deciding whether the author is speaking as a character in the story or as an outside narrator. Understanding the author’s point of view helps you become a stronger reader who can think more deeply about what you read—not just what happens, but why it’s told that way. 📖✨
