Description

More public schools are using Common Core Standards to align student learning goals per grade level. As a home school family or private school, these can help you determine what grade level your child is aligned with in the public schools system. These consumable workbooks include reading selections in both fiction and non-fiction on a wide variety of topics. Here is a sampling of activities following a reading selection in the Grade 6 book. The topic was a futuristic rescue mission to Jupiter with Captain Sara and Commander Barry. After the reading (less than two pages worth,) students are asked 15 multiple choice questions about what they read, and then do a word search to become familiar with the new vocabulary. A page called "standardized test practice" comes with clear instruction and is also multiple-choice. Finally there are some activities with more than circling answers, and a writing assignment asking students questions about an imaginary rescue mission they are being sent on to another country. The reading selections are followed by a variety of activities so the work does not become too predictable. A chapter a day would take maybe an hour or two to complete if you count time to look up words, ask questions, and discuss the topics. Answer keys are in the back. 128 pgs, pb. ~ Sara
