About This Worksheet
This 1st grade reading worksheet helps children sort sentences by first-person and third-person point of view. Students read six school-themed sentences and decide whether each one uses pronouns such as I, we, or my, or tells about someone else with words such as he, she, the teacher, or the class. The sorting format gives children a clear way to compare the two viewpoints side by side.
Learning Goals
The main goal is to help students recognize point of view by identifying pronouns and sentence subjects. Children practice noticing when a speaker is talking about themselves and when a sentence describes another person or group. These skills support narrator recognition, grammar awareness, and stronger comprehension of who is speaking in a text.
Student Tasks
Children read all six sentences and write each sentence number in the correct box. They sort first-person examples under the I, we, my heading and third-person examples under the he, she, the teacher, the class heading. After sorting, students can reread each group aloud and listen for how the voice changes.
Common Challenges
Some children may focus on the classroom action instead of the words that show point of view. Others may be unsure about we because more than one person is involved. A parent or teacher can remind students that we is still first person because the speaker is included in the group. Underlining the pronoun before sorting can make the task easier.
Teaching Suggestions
Teachers can create two quick columns on the board and sort sample pronouns before students begin. Parents and homeschool educators can ask, “Is the speaker included in this sentence?” to help children choose the correct category. It may also help to change a sentence from first person to third person and discuss which words need to change. This makes the contrast between viewpoints more concrete.
Worksheet Features
The worksheet includes six short school-themed sentences and a two-column sorting chart. Clear pronoun examples appear in both categories, giving children repeated comparison practice. The familiar classroom setting keeps the reading simple while students focus on point of view. This printable works well for literacy centers, grammar review, guided reading, or homework.
