Grade 6 English, on free books
Is there a sixth grade homeschool English curriculum that does not need a book list?
Free for 30 days. No card.
Every course in every grade, for every child in the family. Lessons pause when the free days end unless you choose to subscribe.
Start 30 days freeReading, Reasoning, and Writing: Grade 6 English Language Arts is a full year of sixth-grade reading and writing, eight units and 33+ hours, built entirely on free material: public-domain stories, folktales, speeches and open nonfiction. You do not buy a textbook or novel set.
The eight units
Reading With Evidence. Theme vs. Topic. Figurative Language and Author's Craft. Writing Arguments With Reasons and Evidence. Reading Across Two Texts. Writing to Inform: Structure and Sources. Narrative Craft: Dialogue and Pacing. Cumulative Synthesis: Reading and Writing Across the Year.
One core habit
Do not just say what you think a text means, show the exact line that proves it.
Topic versus theme
A child learns the difference between what a story is about and what it is actually saying, and reads figurative language as a choice the author made on purpose.
Three kinds of essay
Argument, informative and story, each reusing skills from the reading units instead of starting from scratch.
What this is not
- It is one course among many. You decide which to take, which to hold back and how many to do in a day.
- It is not a literature survey of famous novels. It is built on free texts so cost stays flat.
- A child who is behind is not stuck. The course is mastery paced and slows down when a child struggles.
