Description
Students will identify an author’s point of view on various topics within an informational text. This includes identifying perspectives that an author would most likely agree with and making inferences on what an author thinks about a particular subject.
These reading comprehension worksheets have a mini-lesson at the top to serve as an anchor, followed by a nonfiction passage and several multiple choice/open response questions. Tips are included next to some commonly asked questions to mentor students on how to best answer them. Use as test prep, or to teach and practice the fundamentals of finding the author’s point of view.
