In this study, the taking and shifting point-of-view (POV) was considered as an ability,‘ point-of-view-operating ability’. The purpose of this study was to examine the dimensions that were constituent with the POV-operating ability and the relations between the POV operating ability and the narrative comprehension. Two dimensions of POV operating ability were conducted by factor analysis with 4 th, 5 th and 6 th graders as subjects: i.e. the shift of reader's POV as the movement of POV in questions and th e shift of reader's POV as the movement of the POV in narratives. The movement of character was added to two dimensions of POV-operating ability, and 3 rd and 5 th graders were asked to perform POV and narrative comprehension tasks. The results showed that the hypothesis, subjects having higher POV-operating ability could comprehend narrative better than those with lower's, was supported only among 5 th graders. It also showed that the dimension about POV in questions was difficult to operate for 3 rd but not for 5 th graders ; still, 5 th graders have difficulties to operate the POV in questions in moving character.
