What point of view is used? Joshua walked into the room carefully. He began to sweat as he looked at the equipment in the room. He wondered what tools Dr. Scott would be using on his teeth. His fear was short lived. He was excited when the dentist told him that he didn’t have any cavities. First Person Second Person Third Person

What point of view is used? As I ran up to the stage to receive my award, I didn’t realize that my shoe lace was untied. I took a few steps, tripped over my shoe lace, and fell flat on my back. The crowd waited in silence to see if I was okay. They erupted in applause, when I stood up and walked to the stage to get my award. For a moment I was embarrassed, but I guess I showed courage by getting up and walking to the stage. I made sure that I held my head up high as I accepted my award.

What point of view is used? When you are reading a passage and you come across a word that you do not know, you should use context clues to help you define the word. Context clues help you figure out the definitions of unfamiliar words. Become a detective and search for the words that will help you define the unfamiliar word. Sometimes the definition is right there in the sentence. You should never skip over a word you do not know. Good readers take the time to understand what they are reading!
