6th Level - All Sails Set
Reading Development Series
One skill that is important for students to develop is the ability to separate important items from relatively unimportant ones while reading. The books in this level place much emphasis upon outlining and paragraph organization to help teach this skill.
Equally important is the ability to read critically - to compare, infer, draw conclusions, see cause and effect relationships, and predict outcomes. The 6th level workbook places much more emphasis on this type of skill and less upon routine noting of details.
From the very first story in the book, "They Helped Themselves," through to the final story "New Boy at Plumfield," readers will be challenged, encouraged and taught through examples the finer qualities of being a decent and upright human being throughout the big and the seemingly little things and events in life. Character qualities are skilfully woven into the poetry and stories by authors such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, A.A. Milne, Don Henshaw, E. Pauline Johnson, Lynn Harrington and Louisa May Alcott. Learn about integrity, love, honesty, hard work, selflessness, perseverance and more from the tales which tend to revolve around the experiences of the children in the stories. While a number of the stories are set in Canada, the reader will be exposed to numerous cultures and places in different times of history.
Expand the vocabulary with words such as perpendicular, precipice, diphtheria, embankment, tenacious, exasperation, blathering, tamarack, confidentially, and tantalizing. Speaking of which, we hope this brief description now has you tantalized and eager to delve into these delightful pages.

Following these directions will in itself be valuable training in comprehension. The purpose of each exercise is clearly set out so the student understands the reason for doing it.
In almost every case, each selection in the Reader has both a preparatory and a follow-up workbook exercise. Practice selections in the workbook are closely related to the unit theme.

The vocabulary workbook also includes questions for Reading for Comprehension and Reading to Remember that relate to each story in the reader.
Reading Development Series Language Arts Kit with
Climbing to Good English
By: SchoolAid
Climbing to Good English Levels 5 and 6 are designed to run parallel in a mixed grade situation if needed with three English classes per week. Use the Practice Sheets the other two days per week, or as needed. Both grades study and discuss the same concepts at the same time. However, sixth grade is generally on a harder level and often has more work. The teacher guide gives clear instructions.
Each unit begins with a composition lesson which encompasses listening, reading, evaluation, taking notes, organizing, building vocabulary, explaining, writing, editing, and rewriting, followed with lessons on grammar, mechanics and word usage.
The students are expected to help themselves do much of the work independently without much teacher help.
