What Your Child Will Learn in 6th Grade Reading
At this stage, students start analyzing informational text and developing inferencing skills for 6th graders. This way, they’ll prepare for 7th grade reading and beyond.
Advanced grammar & writing structure
Students focus on grammar accuracy and paragraph organization. They analyze sentence structures, so they can read more efficiently and write better.
Middle school vocabulary development
Using context clues for vocabulary development, students learn how to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words within complex texts. They also summarize and synthesize texts, which helps them learn and use new words.
Analytical reading comprehension
We cover fiction and nonfiction reading skills, so students understand text structure and author’s purpose, while learning how to identify key ideas. This helps with both reading comprehension and analytical skills.
Literature & creative expression
Students explore storytelling, character development, and theme analysis in literature. As a result, they improve their critical thinking and creative writing skills.
