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.

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!

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

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!

Find Reading resources | TPT
Learn more about reading resources.
Not only is reading a core concept in the study of English language arts, but it’s also a cornerstone skill for proficiency in many other subjects (for instance, without strong reading skills, students won’t be able to solve math word problems or read through primary sources for social studies class).
If you’re a teacher or parent looking for printable and digital reading resources to help your student learn a reading concept, look no further! TPT has an extensive collection of resources, created by other teachers, that are designed to help with any need across grade levels.
Elementary students just learning to read can practice the basics with some simple, fun phonics practice activities or small-group reading centers focused around sight words. Students in middle and high school can read novels and complete hands-on, interactive assignments that build their comprehension and critical thinking skills. With plenty of TPT resources at your fingertips, you can sharpen your student's reading skills in no time.
Fun and engaging reading activities to try
Engaging reading activities can energize your students and foster a love of reading. Here are a few ideas for reading activities from our teacher-created resources that you can find on TPT and try in your classroom:
Interactive Phonics Activities
Use hands-on activities such as sorting, matching, or building words with manipulatives to help students recognize phonics patterns and learn word families.
Encourage students to find specific words either in a text or around the classroom to help reinforce sight word recognition.
Reader's Theater
Bring short stories, books, poems, or plays you’re reading in class to life by assigning roles to students and having them act out scenes. This can help enhance fluency and comprehension.
Interactive Read-Alouds
Engage the class by pausing during read-alouds to discuss the story’s theme, reflect on a character’s motivations or actions, or to ask students questions.
Comparative Analysis
Explore different adaptations of the same story (book versus movie, classic version versus a modern retelling) to encourage analysis of interpretation and presentation. You can also pair texts that are similar in theme, like poems and songs.
By incorporating these (and other!) reading activities into your lesson plans, you can nurture a love for reading while enhancing comprehension, critical thinking, and communication skills.
Frequently asked questions about teaching reading
What types of reading resources are available on tpt.
There are many different types of reading resources sold by Sellers on TPT. Some popular reading lessons include: phonics, vocabulary, spelling, and balanced literacy.
How do I find reading lessons on TPT?
Educators can save time preparing reading lessons with resources created by experienced teachers. Simply start a search for reading resources on the TPT marketplace, and filter by grade level, price, and/or resource type to find materials that've been proven to work in classrooms like yours. No matter what you’re teaching, there are plenty of reading lessons and activities sold by Sellers on TPT that are tailored to meet your students' skill levels.
How can I make my reading lessons fun and engaging?
Students learn best when they're engaged! Sprinkle a little fun into your reading lessons by using manipulatives, pairing unusual texts like poems and short films together, or doing an escape room activity.
