180 Days of Reading: Grade 6 - Daily Reading Workbook for Classroom and Home, Reading Comprehension and Phonics Practice, School Level Activities ... Challenging Concepts (180 Days of Practice)

I love the 180 days workbooks. Use them everyday in homeschool. This one is separated into weeks. Each day of the week has an assignment. Every week has an underlying topic. The first 3 days of the week, they read a short paragraph and answer about 6 multiple choice questions. Day 4, you read a full page and answer more questions than days 1-3, but still doesn't take too long. Day 5 is a written assignment based on Day 4's reading, but usually you can incorporate the whole week. I love the set up. I use 180 Writing as well and have the weeks off set so he isn't writing 2 big paragraphs every Friday. One begins on Thursdays and ends Wednesday, the other is Monday through Friday. This one really is more in line with how they will be expected to do reading comprehension on standardized tests. Even a homeschooler will have to take ACT/SAT, and whatever test for grad school. It's great practice that doesn't take too much time without teaching purely just how to pass tests, and isn't just busy work. The topics range from What is a healthy diet to How TV advertisements work. They also double as great ideas for short mini lessons when I want to teach more on the topic.

Este es el segundo año que compro este libro como material de estudio y práctica para mi hijo que es estudiante en línea.Esta súper fácil para leer, practicar escritura y facilitar la comprensión de textos.Creo que lo hay para todos los grados de primaria y escuela media, lo recomiendo muchísimo!

I tried a few different practice books with my 5th grader and I think this one has the best balance. The 180 day of reading series organizes reading practices by week. On Monday to Thursday, each day has a reading paragraph with multiple choice questions. On Friday it is writing response. The multiple choice questions varies in difficulties and type. It covers grammar, word meaning and comprehension skills. It also actually has 180 pages, which means if you only ask your kid to do 5 pages a week, it will keep them busy all year long.

I am a certified teacher who now homeschools. I use this book everyday, but we don’t complete the writing prompts. I like that the kids receive daily practice in reading and they learn to refer back to the reading passage when answering the questions, something that students seem to resist doing even though it’s perfectly acceptable and necessary in school and in life to go back and reread if necessary (as long as you’re not instructed not to do that in class or on a test).The book has helped me assess the areas where my children might need extra reinforcement and reteaching on a concept. For example, if we’ve studied prepositional phrases earlier in the year and I see that a child has missed a question asking him to identify the prepositional phrase in a sentence, I know to go back and review prepositional phrases with him (or at least ask some questions to see how well he understands that concept). I also like the variety of interesting topics and that students are reading an assortment of fiction and nonfiction throughout the year.I did give up on the writing prompts, though. The questions are too direct and often, it seems to me, could be answered in a sentence or two. They don’t set the stage for the student to feel that they can expand on the topic.I would say this book is a great component of a language arts program, but isn’t all that I use. It’s a solid part of our everyday work, but I add it to a variety of resources for a complete curriculum.I do love that there is a CD in the back of the book to print the pages off and the book allows teachers to copy for their classrooms. I have my kids write their answers in an English notebook so we don’t mark up the book, but I also have occasionally printed the passages out from the CD. That is so much easier than trying to photocopy a page from the book. Teachers out there will find it much easier to use the CD when copying for their classrooms.

At first, I made my son do a little extra work in the work book every day to catch up. We just went on a trip and he got out his work book and asked if he could read and do the questions out loud with me as I drove. I asked what he likes about it and he says. The lessons are short so it doesn't seem like a big project.

As a retired educator I found this to be the best reading comprehension book I have ever used. What I liked best about the book is that each week starts with a theme/specific subject and focuses on it for four days, and then on the fifth day there is a writing prompt that allows students to write about the topic that they have been reading about all week. It's a wonderful tool for students who are struggling with reading comp.

Very well written workbook my daughter is learning and she enjoys it

It is really help six grade reading and writing, every week have interesting topic! I just let my daughter finish each week on Sunday, for reading part, she only need 20minutes, for day 5 writing, depend on how she understand and how ideas she have, it take about 30 minutes.

This book is useless to me without the accompanying CD.Teachers buy this book and make work sheets.I have previously bought this series (Except Grade 6) and loved it.Very disappointed with what arrived.I have tried and tried to ask for help about this matter and nothing has happened.Please help!!!
