---

Bridge classroom literacy standards and independent home practice with Skill Sharpeners: Reading - Connecting School and Home (Grade 6), a masterfully structured educational workbook written by curriculum specialist Martha Cheney and dynamically illustrated by Daniel W. Palmer. Specially tailored for sixth-grade students to master text analysis, this dynamic full-color manual features 12 motivating, high-interest reading units divided equally between fiction and nonfiction genres. Young readers will unpack timeless narrative traditions through stories like "Hercules and the Many-Headed Hydra" and explore fascinating historical realities through articles like "The Terra Cotta Warriors: An Army of Clay". Every passage is systematically paired with interactive activity sheets focusing on core comprehension skills, context-based vocabulary, critical thinking development, and structural summarization. Additionally, the workbook reinforces technical literacy skills including dictionary usage and graphic information processing. Ideal for remedial support, summer bridge programs, or active enrichment, this workbook serves as an essential instructional aid for language arts teachers, home educators, and a valuable asset for early childhood literacy reference shelves.
