Author’s Purpose

one reason for writing. Four
common reasons are to persuade,
to inform, to express ideas or
feelings, and to entertain.
How you read can depend on what
you’re reading. For example, you
might read a funny story faster
than a news article.
Author’s Viewpoint
The author’s viewpoint is the way an
author looks at a subject he or she is
writing about. It is the author’s
attitude toward the subject.
You can sometimes determine the
author’s viewpoint by thinking about
the words the author uses.
Look for an author’s viewpoint on
setting or characters as you read a
story.

spelling but different meanings and
