6th Grade Reading Worksheets

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.

Only Include Worksheets Written at the 6th Grade Level Not Recommended
Include Worksheets Within 1 Grade Level (5th and 7th)
Include Worksheets Within 2 Grade Levels (4th through 8th) Recommended

    • 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.

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

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!
