Reading programs for 6th graders: Topics covered

🔤

Figurative language

This segment helps 6th graders understand creative ways writers express ideas. This is where we teach them to spot and list similes, metaphors, and other creative text forms through analyzing informational texts and passages.

📚

Reading comprehension

Reading comprehension helps sixth graders understand and discuss what they’ve read clearly. By asking questions, analyzing context cues, and connecting the main ideas that they have read, our tutors help students become thoughtful readers.

🤓

Fact and opinion listing outcomes

This topic helps 6th graders distinguish between what is true and what is based on personal feelings. Kids learn to identify story structure, categorize, and discuss facts versus opinions, while boosting their understanding of context.

📖

Latin and Greek roots

Latin and Greek roots help 6th graders understand the meaning of unfamiliar words. At Brighterly, we teach kids to break words into parts, making it easier to grow vocabulary and improve comprehension development.

There’s nothing more rewarding than watching a child who once had no knowledge or confidence in reading suddenly become able to read. That moment of breakthrough - no matter how small - brings me joy and fulfillment and continues to inspire me every day.

"What I enjoy most about teaching is watching kids' excitement."

What I enjoy most about 6 grade reading is seeing their excitement as they connect with stories and grow in confidence. It’s gratifying to watch them develop the skills to write their essays, stories, and poems, using what they’ve read as inspiration to express their ideas creatively.

So happy with Brighterly's method of teaching!

We've only been using Brighterly for a short time, but already we're seeing a difference! The instructor is incredibly patient and experienced, and knows how to make learning math fun and accessible. The fact that reading is also included is a huge bonus! My child is more confident and engaged than ever before.

Brighterly was the support we needed. Thank you so much!

My daughter needed a boost of confidence and a reading comprehension program. I was working with Ja'Nav for hours after school, but sometimes with the work and stress load of a busy mom, along with different learning styles, she wasn't able to receive the information the way I taught it. With the help of Brighterly, twice a week, Ja'Nav meets her tutor virtually and loves the experience.
