Beyond the primary grades teachers often seem to forget about checking students reading fluency. This is a simple to use form for students to provide themselves a self-feedback on their read aloud fluency. Teachers can then use the same form to provide their own feedback on the students reading fluency. File states to use Audacity (a free download online) but other recording programs/devices may be used - this is just a personal choice/what is available on our school computers. Included in this package is how I used this program successfully in my classroom. Please don't forget to take a look at the other items I have available in my store!

Enhance vocabulary in any class or content area with this AVID-inspired vocabulary awareness chart in Google Sheets. This vocabulary awareness chart allows students to check their awareness and knowledge of words found in the content they are learning about.

Directions

• The vocabulary self-awareness chart allows students to assess themselves on class vocabulary words.
• In my classroom, we chose our words from the words students have come across in their reading.
• Students write the vocabulary words, determine how well they know the word (checking a checkbox in the correct column), and type any notes or definitions they have for the word.
• Simply duplicate the chart in Google Sheets when you are ready for students to make a new self-awareness chart over new content you are learning so that students can keep a log.

What's Included

• One Google Sheets document where students will duplicate and log their vocabulary awareness across all the readings completed in your class.
• In the document, students will include:

- Name

- Date

- What the vocabulary is for

- Word

- Students will check a box for the following: know it well & can explain it, heard it or seen it before, no Clue

- Notes/Definitions

In their first year of middle school, 6th graders embark on a new phase in their education, facing fresh challenges and changes. In many ways, 6th grade marks an important transition for students, as they apply the skills they have learned before to engage in more complex and self-guided learning in deeper and more demanding ways.

While collaboration continues to be an important element of the curriculum, students often need to produce more detailed independent assignments, especially in writing. This requires improved independence and organizational skills, and it will probably necessitate some adjustment and practice at the beginning of the school year.

The main goal of the 6th grade reading curriculum is to have students interact with increasingly difficult texts over the year, preparing them for high school, advanced studies, and future professions. Students examine a variety of texts and different genres, including fiction, drama, poetry, and non-fiction.

This ebook offers a detailed lesson plan for guided reading along with activities tailored for your sixth-grade classes. Suggested replies are also provided.

This file contains directions on how to write a found poem, and requires students to write one for a book they are reading independently. The students will choose a passage in their novel that they'd like to summarize using a found poem, then they identify words and phrases from the text that they'll incorporate.It includes the directions, a writer's checklist, a reflection for the students to complete after their poem, and a question at the end that requires them to switch poems with a partner where they have to summarize the section of text their partner wrote about. If they can, their partner's poem was successful in summarizing the text! If not, their partner should go back and revise.
