6th Grade Common Core Worksheets

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts (ELA) provide a framework of educational expectations for students in reading, writing, and other language skills. The goals of the CCSS ELA are broken out by grade and subject area, including Reading: Literature, Reading: Informational Text, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language, as well as expectations in additional subject areas such as science and technology, history, and further writing areas. Sixth graders are expected to master the basics of reading fiction and non-fiction books, learn deeper writing and grammar skills, grow in their oral presentations, collaborations, use of technology and the complexity of their reading choices. See the subheadings for each ELA category for more information on the specific expectations for students.

Grade 6 Language Arts Worksheets

At this grade level students begin to perfect all aspects of information output and input. Listening takes center stage in many different ways in this grade level. Locking down more difficult vocabulary is a must here. Sixth grade students have one of the most significant jumps in reader level. Students are expected to see an explosion of language growth over the course of this school year. There are many concepts that first appear in the 6th grade language arts curriculum. 6th graders are making a bit of leap into unknown territory. Rather than reading into inferences, we expect students at this level to make their own inferences and back them up with a traceable and well documented argument. Where before we were looking for students to state their opinions at the 6th grade level we want to only hear validated facts.

Oh, those loveable 6th graders! What would middle school be like with out them? Here are all of my reading worksheets that were written at the 6th grade level. I used this fantastic site to determine the readability scores of these worksheets, but you should read and approve them yourself before giving them to your students. Readability scores are not perfect and there are many different algorithms to determine readability scores. I use an average of these scores, but they can vary wildly. For these reasons, I encourage you to open up the reading levels two grade levels in each direction. This will give you a good selection of texts that are appropriate for a 6th grade student to read.

your_girl_a.j9942

i like this…..i think

omg who would read all of this dude

This is wonderful! Are these worksheets to be done before or after a lesson on the subject? Are they pre-tests? Do you present each lesson in the order they are listed here?

Use them as you feel that they will best assist you and your students in reaching your goals. This is kind of what I did when I was teaching: https://www.ereadingworksheets.com/e-reading-worksheets/reading-unit-and-lesson-plans-aligned-with-common-core-state-standards/

Best wishes!

davida Mejia

AN EXCELLENT WEBSITE

This is a great website for children to read and for teachers to provide. As a student it is recommended for students and teachers.

there should be only chose the answer not question answer but anyway it is a nice website i hope you will improve this thing and one last thing please give small comprehension or passage

Most teachers like it when students are required to explain their answers. It adds reflection and expression to the exercises. I do understand that when you are working on these by yourself, you may not be interested in answering short response questions. In that case, you can disable them on the screen where you enter your name. The option box is in the top right corner. Best wishes.

yes, i am with you i cannot study when i only go down with arrow i see the answer .

so please this app should respect our decisions

I’m confused as to what your decisions are and how I could improve my respect toward your decisions.

TOO GOOD! JUST LOVED IT! KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB!!!

These worksheets are the absolute best I have encountered thus far. Can you point me in the direction of some myth worksheets? Thanks.

Thank you for this resource. It is amazing and has proven to be invaluable. I appreciate your hard work and thoughtfulness. I have learnt so much from you as an educator and so have the children I work with. Thelma

Thank you for the kind words. They are inspiring. Best wishes!

Mr. Morton, could you check the answers for The Story of Keesh worksheet #’s 1 and 2? I believe the answers on the worksheet may be reversed, with the correct answer for 1 being “D”, and the correct answer for 2 being “A”. The electronic version provides different solutions than the worksheet answer key. Thanks in advance for reviewing, and great resource!

You are absolutely right. I have amended the key.

hi, there is a typo I think above in your entry paragraph: “What would middle school be like with out them?” I think without must be written as one word. otherwise your site is amazing!

I love this website. It is so helpful to me and to others. I love this website alot.

Julia Bettis

I don’t know why these aren’t available in pdf format. I can’t open the RTF files without some of the text missing or blocked out.

They are available as PDFs.

thank you for providing such a wonderful resource… though I have purchased other resources, they do not measure up… I have constantly returned to this site for better quality passages and questions… thank you and you are APPRECIATED!!!

That’s nice of you to say. I’m always working to provide new and better resources. Come back again!

This was so very helpful for me, now I have vacation homework that will help for sixth grade

Michelle Montalvo

Thank you SOO Much for providing this resource. I was looking for worksheets that I can use to avoid the “summer slump”. This was amazing!!

This website has been a wonderful resource! I am in my pre-student teaching phase and I have been tasked to work with a student that is three grades levels below in reading. Sometimes it is difficult to judge readability and this website has made it easy for me to select activities to support her goals. Thank you so much!

I’m so happy to hear it. Best wishes.

This is hands down the best resource of its kind on the internet (at least that I have come across… and I’m Google-happy). Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You saved me sooo much time and effort (and I still wouldn’t have been able to do it quite as well). Thank you, thank you and thank you for taking the time. I’m sure it was a labor of love.

You are so welcome. Come back again. I make a lot of updates. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for the kind words.

The answer is wrong for the mongoose article for the first one the correct answer would be c

Thank you for sharing that. I have fixed the error.

What a wonderful tool for Language class! I liked it a lot and, definitively I will use it

WHAT A WONDERFUL TOOL! I liked it a lot and definitively I will use it…

I like the website it’s pretty cool to me…..to be honest ITS AWSOME

joory al balushi

thank you for making such a great website to help improve kids skills in comprehension in English class!

Nice program

I surfed across your site in a google search for figurative language paragraphs for a few middle school speech-language therapy students. Your site is an amazing treasure for a wide variety of skills that some of my students who need to work on perspective and figurative language in a more complex format. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for visiting!

Farah Malik

Never ever in my life i saw such comprehensive and easy to uderstand.I have no words to explain my thankfulness.I am obliged to have such a devine help.
