240 Vocabulary Words Kids Need to Know: Grade 6: 24 Ready-To-Reproduce Packets Inside!

A hreat book!

As a mother of six who has been homeschooling for 17 years, I highly recommend this workbook. My 12-year-old daughter loves it, because it is interesting and informative. I like it because it is challenging, but doable. Each lesson is three pages long, and my daughter does one a day. Answers are in the back, so it's super easy to correct. I would highly recommend this workbook. My daughter already had an excellent vocabulary, but this is a great addition to her curriculum and has taught us BOTH many new words.

This book has a good variety of vocabulary words and is thoughtfully grouped by subject (synonyms, homographs, eponyms, etc).The font size, drawings, and number of tasks per page all make the book user friendly and manageable - not too hard and not too easy. The layout makes it simple to accommodate a child's ability, interest and/or attention on any given day - do a single page, a lesson (3 pages) or more.And for the most part it avoids the tropes and stereotypes that editors think are fine in sentences and drawings in these kinds of workbooks. Although I would like to see a different drawing in future editions other than two teenage girls glaring at each other to illustrate the word "hostile." Perhaps a cat with it's fur on end hissing at...anything?The "writing to learn" section was the kind of thing I would want to skip as a student because of how different it was from the previous tasks, but you know what's fun now? Doing this task at the same time as your kid and then reading aloud your results to each other. You can get creative and make the answers humorous and ridiculous, yet still accurate!The team (Individual, I guess? Thank you to Linda Ward Beech) who put this together did a wonderful job and I wish Scholastic would keep the same format for grades beyond 6th. Is she retired? Can you ask her if she would do it Scholastic? C'mon, make it worth her time! Add a few pages per lesson, increase the vocabulary difficulty per grade of course, but otherwise keep everything else the same. Please!

I homeschool and I used the grade 5 workbook (240 Vocab Words) last year and decided to go ahead and purchase this one for grade 6 year because the one last year worked great for us. I love the workbook. It's a quick learn on new words, grammar, etc. Fun fun!

I used this book for my 12 year old, who I homeschool. This is our third year using these scholastic vocabulary workbooks. The lessons are short and rather easy. Its good for a short and straight to the point word study.
