I liked the point of view passages very much. I liked how it was dfferentiated for the different reading levels. That makes guided reading so much easier. The color coding of the skills is a great idea. It keeps the students engaged and on task. Point of view is a very difficult skill to teach and this was very helpful.

Teach Love Cactus –
This is a great resource and has some great text dependent questions. The only thing I would suggest is to change it from a point of view document to a perspective document. Point of view talks more about who is speaking (first, second and third person) where perspective talks about how characters view the situations they are involved in. I was looking for a resource to use in guided reading groups on point of view, so I was a bit disappointed when I realized it was not exactly what I was looking for.
Michelle Owens –
Thank you!
