IXL | Who is the narrator? | 1st grade language arts

Listen and read along with the story.

I kicked the ball down the field, racing past players from the other team. I really wanted to score, but a girl from the other team was blocking my way. I didn't have a clear shot.

Then someone called out my name. "Liv! I'm open!" Ada yelled.

Nobody was guarding Ada, so I quickly passed her the ball. She took a shot. It went in!

question

Listen and read along with the story.

Strange shadows covered my bedroom walls. What was that sound? Was it footsteps? Shaking, I held my teddy bear close.

Once I start feeling scared, it is hard to stop. But this time, I knew what to do! I turned on my new night-light. Click!

The warm glow of the night-light filled the room. The shadows disappeared, and soon I was drifting off to sleep.

Who is the narrator?

a child

a parent

a night-light

key idea

A narrator is the person or character who is telling a story. Sometimes, the same story can be told by different narrators. Two narrators may have different thoughts and feelings about something that is happening in a story. For example, a student and a teacher may feel differently about a day in the classroom. So, they might tell the same story in different ways.

solution

In the story, the narrator is in bed with a teddy bear. The narrator is worried about shadows and sounds, so he turns on the night-light.

Sometimes children sleep with stuffed animals and use a night-light. So, you can guess that the narrator is a child.
